Report of the Native Affairs Committee, 1883.

[No. 446.—Petition of Hoani Motutara and 32 Others.]

No. 446.—Petition of Hoani Motutara and 32 Others.

Petitioners complain that their land had been secretly sold by one man, Marake te Moananui, to the Government Land Purchase Commissioner. The land had been confiscated, and is situated in the Tauranga District.

I am directed to report as follows:—

That there has not been time to consider this petition owing to the late period of the session at which it came before the Committee.

3rd September, 1883.

[Translation.]
No. 446.—Pukapuka-inoi a Hoani Motutara me etahi atu e 32.

E mea ana nga kai-pitihana kua hokona tahaetia to ratou whenua ki te Komihana hoko whenua a te Kawanatanga e te tangata Kotahi e Marake te Moananui. I riro tenei whenua i te rau patu kei te takiwa o Tauranga.

Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei:—

Kihai i whai taima ki te whakaaro i tenei pitihana no te mea kua tata rawa te mutu o te Paremete i te taenga mai o tenei pitihana ki te aroaro o te Komiti.

3 Hepetema, 1883.
