No. 10, Sess. II.—Petition of Kara Kahakura, for Tribe.

Petitioner states that an island, called Wharekauri, belonging to his tribe, has been taken from them by a certain tribe in New Zealand. They pray that the matter may be adjudicated upon.

I am directed to report as follows:—

The petition refers to transactions which occurred before the foundation of the colony. The Committee has no recommendation to make.

1st November, 1884.

[Translation.]
No. 10, Sess. II.—Pukapuka-inoi a Kara Kahakura, mo tona Iwi.

E Ki ana te kai-pitihana ko tetahi motu, e karangtia nei ko Wharekauri, no tona iwi kua tangohia ja ratou e tetahi iwi. E inoi ana ratou kia whakawakia tenei keehi.

Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei:—

E whakahua ana te kai-pitihana ki tetahi mea i puta i mua atu o te tunga o tenei Koroni. Kahore he kupu a te Komiti mo runga i tenei tono.

1 Nowema, 1884.
