Reports of the Native Affairs Committee, 1885.

[No. 153.—Petition of Tamati Te Rangi.]

No. 153.—Petition of Tamati Te Rangi.

Petitioner alleges that he was the principal owner in a block of land at Tologa Bay known as Tauwhareparae. He was applied to by the Government Agent to sign a certain deed and use his influence with other owners. He said he would not do so under the sum of £500. And the Agent, one Jury, agreed to this, whereupon he signed the deed. He has not received the £500, but only a small portion—£50. He applied to Mr. Gill, who refused to pay the balance, but said he would obtain a pension for petitioner, which has not been obtained or granted. Was also promised by Captain Porter an area of two hundred acres, which has not been granted. He prays for relief.

Report and date same as No. 48.

[Translation.]
No. 153.—Pukapuka-inoi a Tamati Te Rangi.

E ki ana te kai-pitihana ko ia te tino tangata whai take ki tetahi poraka whenua i Uawa e mohiotia nei ko Tauwhareparae i tono tetahi tangata o te Kawanatanga ki aia kia hainatia e ia tetahi Tiiti kia tono hoki ki era atu tangata whai take. I mea ia me homai kia £500 mana katahi ia ka tona ki era atu tangata whai take a whakaaetia ana e tetahi tangata ko Hiuri te ingoa, no reira ka hainatia e ia Te Tiiti. Heoi kahore ano i riro mai te £500. Heoi nga moni e riro mai e £50 i tono ano hoki ia kia te Kira mo nga toenga a whakahaeretia ana e ia erangi i ki ia ka tonoa tetahi penihana ma te kai-pitihana. Heoi kahore i tukuna mai taua penihana. I ki mai ano hoki a Kapene Poata ka homai kia 200 eka mana a kore ake hoki taua 200 eka. E inoi ana ia ki tetahi ora mona.

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