Report on the Standing Orders relative to Native Petitions.
I am directed by the Native Affairs Committee to report that the Committee is of opinion that it is not desirable at present to make any alteration in the Standing Orders so far as they relate to Native petitions from persons of the Native race.
[Translation.]
Kupu Whiriwhiri.
Kua whakahaua ahau e te Komiti mo nga mea Maori kia whai-kupu; na ko te whakaaro a te komiti e kore e tika i tenei wa ki te whakarere ke i nga ture whakahaere o te Whare mo te taha ki nga pitihana Maori e ahu mai ana i nga tangata o te iwi Maori.
