No. 320 of 1881.—Matiu Wharematangi and 3 Others.
Petitioners say that they are loyal Natives of the Taranaki Tribe, but they have not yet received Crown grants for their lands. They pray for redress.
I am directed to report as follows:—
That this is a matter which might properly be referred to the West Coast Commissioner to be dealt with, and, with this object, the Committee recommends it to the attention of the Government.
[Translation.]
No. 320 of 1881.—Pukapuka-inoi a Matiu Wharematangi me etahi atu 3.
E Ki ana nga kai-pitihana he Maori ratou no te iwi o Taranaki, i noho piri pono ratou ki a te Kuini otira kahore ano ratou i whiwhi noa ki te Karauna karaati mo o ratou whenua. A e inoi ana kia whakaorangia ratou.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei:—
He mea tika tenei kia tukua atu ki te Komihana mo te Taihauauru kia mahia e ia, a i runga i tera huarahi ka kiia e te Komiti me ata rapu he tikanga e te Kawanatanga.
