The petitioners pray that the Native Land Court may be done away with, and that the investigation of Native title be left entirely to Committees of the Maori people.

I am directed to report as follows:—
That the Committee does not see its way to make any recommendation to the House, but refers it, as a matter of public policy, to the consideration of the Government.
Translation.
No. 129, Session I., 1879.—Pukapuka-inoi a Hana Hakariwhi me etahi atu.
E inoi ana nga kai-pitihana kia whakakorea te Kooti Whakawa Whenua Maori, a ko nga take Maori ki te whenua me riro ma nga Komiti Maori anake e whakawa.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei:—
Kaore e kite te Komiti i tetahi huarahi marama hei whai-kuputanga mana ki te Whare, no reira ka tukua atu ki te Kawanatanga hei whakaarohanga ma ratou, notemea kei roto i nga tikanga whakahaere mo te motu.
