No. 252 of 1881.—Petition of Paora Parau and 26 Others.
Petitioners say that there is due to them £1,300 for fighting the Hauhaus, and pray for payment.
I am directed to report as follows:—
That the petitioners, shortly after the events referred to, made a similar application, and on the 25th January, 1873, Captain Porter, after careful inquiry, reported that there was no claim. The Committee has therefore no recommendation to make.
[Translation.]
No. 252 of 1881.—Pukapuka-inoi a Paora Parau me etahi atu 26.
E Ki ana nga kai-pitihana, £1,300—kei te toe atu o nga moni tika kia utua kia ratou mo te whawhaitanga ki nga Hauhau, a e inoi ana kia utua aua moni.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei:—
I tono penei ano nga kai-pitihana i muri tata mai i taua takiwa, ata whiriwhiria ana e Kapene Poata, i te 25 o Hanuere, 1873, a tukua mai ana e ia tona ripoata, kaore he take o taua tono. No reira ka kore he kupu whakatau a tenei Komiti.
