Reports of the Native Affairs Committee, 1885.

[No. 283.—Petition of Wirihana Hunia and Others.]

No. 283.—Petition of Wirihana Hunia and Others.

Petitioners state that they have seen the Bill called by the Europeans "The Native Lands Consolidation Bill of 1885." They agree with the Bill, excepting from sections 120 to 138, which they desire should be eliminated, as they say those sections shut them out from looking after their fathers' interests.

Report and date same as No. 48.

E ki ana nga kai-pitihana kua kite ratou i te Pire e kia nei e te pakeha ko te "Pire Whakatopu i nga Ture Whenua Maori, 1885." E whakaae ana ratou ki te Pire mehemea e patua ana nga tekiona timata atu i te 120 tae atu ki te 138 notemea e ki ana ratou e arai ana aua tekiona i a ratou kei whakahaerea e ratou nga whenua o ratou tupuna.

E rite tonu ana te ripoata mo tenei pitihana me te ra i tuhia ai ki te Nama 48.
