No. 525.—Petition of George Kennedy.

Petitioner claims compensation (£242) for having been induced, in 1877, by Mr. Kemp, Native Commissioner, to take charge of a flour-mill owned by Natives, because the engagement had not been carried out by the owners.

I am directed to report as follows:—

That this petition has been presented too late in the session for the Committee to take evidence on the claim.

[Translation.]
No. 525.—Pukapuka-inoi a Hori Keneri.

E tono ana te kai-pitihana kia utua ia ki te £242 hei utu mo te whakahaunga a Te Keepa i a ia kia tiaki i tetahi Mira paraoa a nga Maori, a kihai nga Maori i whakaea i te taha ki a ratou.

Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki panei:—

No te mutunga rawa o ta Paremete nei i tukua mai ai tenei pitihana heoi kaore e whai taima te Komiti ki te rapu i nga korero mo tonei tono.
