No. 46, Sess. II., 1884.—Petition of Henare Wiremu and Others.

Petitioners express satisfaction at the defeat of the Atkinson Government, and hope that any new Government will not compel them to pay a dog-tax or road rates. They also complain that they have been deceived in the way they were told to lease their reserves.
