Reports of the Native Affairs Committee, 1884, No. 2.

[No 66, Sess. I.—Petition of John Hislop and Others.]

No 66, Sess. I.—Petition of John Hislop and Others.

Petitioners pray that, for certain land leased by them from the Government, they may have either an extension of lease or reduced rents; as, owing to the short tenure and expense of clearing, they are unable to profitably meet the present rents.

I am directed to report as follows:—

That it be recommended that, in any amendment of the West Coast Settlement Reserves Act that may be introduced, there should be a clause enabling the lessees for twenty-one years to obtain a longer lease on equitable terms.

19th September, 1884.

[Translation.]
No. 66, Sess. I.—Pukapuka-inoi a Hone Hiropi me etahi atu.

E inoi ana nga kai-pitihana mo etahi whenua i rihitia e ratou i te Kawanatanga kia whakaroangia ranei te rihi me whakaiti ranei te utu o te reti no te mea he poto te takiwa o te reti he nui to mahi ki te whakapai i te whenua ekore hoki ratou e ahei te utu i te reti i te nui o enei mahi.

Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei:—

He mea tika te ki ki te whakaputaina he Ture Whakatikatika i Te Ture whakatau i nga Rahui o Te Tai Hauauru kia whakauruhia tetahi rarangi e tae ai e te kai rihi mo nga tau e 21 te tono kia whakaroaina tana rihi i runga i nga ritenga tika.
