Report of the Native Affairs Committee, 1883.

[No. 92 of 1882.—Petition of Tapata Harepeke, Ngaruka, Ramari, and Taua.]

No. 92 of 1882.—Petition of Tapata Harepeke, Ngaruka, Ramari, and Taua.

Petitioners state that their land called Whakarewa, at Motueka, was taken by certain bishops. They say that they are in distress, and pray that the land may be returned to them.

I am directed to report as follows:—

That Petitions Nos. 31 of 1883, and 92 of 1882, involve questions of great importance, and requiring careful consideration. The Committee recommends that they should be considered early next session.

3rd September, 1883.

[Translation.]
No. 92 of 1882.—Pukapuka-inoi a Tapata Harepeke, Ngaruka, Ramari, me Taua.

E ki ana nga kai-pitihana ko to ratou whenua ko Whakarewa te ingoa kei Motueka, i tangohia e etahi Pihopa. E ki ana ratou kei te mate ratau a e inoi ana kia whakahokia to ratou whenua ki a ratau.

Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei:—

Ko nga pitiana No. 31 o 1883, me 92 o 1882, e nui ana nga tikanga o roto a me ata whiriwhiri rawa heoi e mea ana te Komiti me whiriwhiri i te timatanga o tera paremete.
