Nos. 172 and 173.—Petitions of Wiremu Mahupuku and Others.
Petitioners pray that the Native Land Purchase Department may be done away with, so that no more of their lands may be purchased by the Government, as they are now getting impoverished for want of land.
I am directed to report as follows: That, as these petitions refer to matters of public policy, this Committee has no recommendation to make.
29th July, 1885.
[Translation.]
Nos. 172 me 173.—Pukapuka-inoi a Wiremu Mahupuku me etahi atu.
E inoi ana nga kai-pitihana kia whakamutua te hoko whenua a te Kawanatanga kia kore ai o ratou whenua e riro i te Kawanatanga no te mea kua mate ratou i te kore whenua.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei: No te mea e ahu atu ana nga tikanga o enei pitihana ki nga mea mo te tokomaha kahore he kupu a te Komiti mo runga i tenei tono.
