No. 253 of 1881.—Petition of Wi Pere and 31 Others (No. 3).
Petitioners state that they reside between Turanganui and Waiapu, and pray that power may be given to men chosen by the people to prevent evil persons from coming into the district, and to prevent persons belonging to the district from going away to join the Hauhaus.
I am directed to report as follows:—
That, as there is now a Bill bofore the House proposing to deal with similar questions, and being a matter of public policy, the Committee has no recommendation to make.
