Report of the Native Affairs Committee, 1883.

[No. 492.—Petition of Manuhiri and Others.]

No. 492.—Petition of Manuhiri and Others.

[Petition printed. See Parliamentary Paper, J.-1a.]

Petitioners consider that the petition of Wahanui and others give erroneous boundaries to their lands, and call special attention to paragraphs numbered three and four.

I am directed to report as follows:—

That the Committee cannot enter into the question of tribal title or boundaries raised by this petition, or express an opinion thereon. The House is recommended to take this and other similar petitions into consideration when dealing with Native questions.

29th August, 1883.

[Translation.]
No. 492.—Pukapuka-inoi a Manuhiri me etahi atu.

E whakaaro ana nga kai-pitihana e he ana te whakaatu a te pitihana a Wahanui me etahi atu i nga rohe o to ratou whenua e whakaatu ana hoki i nga rarangi nama toru me te wha.

Kua whakana ahau kia hi penei:—

Kaore te Komiti e whakahaere i nga take i nga rohe ranei a nga iwi e whakaarahia mai nei e tenei pitihana e kore hoki e whai kupu mo runga i taua take. E whakahau ana i te Paremete kia whakaarohia tenei me etahi atu pitihana penei a te takiwa e whakaherea ai nga take Maori.
