No. 259, Session II.—Petition of Te Muera Rangitaumaha and 135 Others.
Petitioners wish the law passed in 1877 and 1878 by the Government, by which they could tie up Native lands, should be repealed, because it has caused them great trouble.
I am directed to report as follows:—
That, pending the proposed legislation on the subject of Native lands, the Committee has no recommendation to make to the House.

No. 259, Session II.—Te Pukapuka-inoi a Te Muera Rangitaumaha me etahi atu 135.
E ki ana nga kai-pitihana ko te ture i haugaia i te tau 1877 me te tau 1878 e te Kawanatanga e here nei ratou i nga whenua Maori me whakakore no te mea kanui te raruraru e pa ana ki a ratou i taua ture.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei:—
No te mea e taria ana te hanganga o tetahi ture mo nga whenua Maori e mea ana te Komiti kaore ana kupu ki te Whare.
