Reports of the Native Affairs Committee, 1885.

[No. 265.—Petition of Hemi Warena and Others.]

No. 265.—Petition of Hemi Warena and Others.

Petitioners state that when Dr. Featherston bought the land at Rangitikei they were to receive £5,000 as their share, but they only received £200. They pray that inquiry may be made into the matter.

I am directed to report as follows: That, after hearing the report of Dr. Featherston to the Government read on the payments of money to the Rangitikei Natives, and considering the length of time that has elapsed since then, the Committee has no recommendation to make.

10th September, 1885.

[Translation.]
No. 265.—Pukapuka-inoi a Hemi Warena me etahi atu.

E ki ana nga kai-pitihana i te hokonga a Rata Petatone i te whenua i Rangitikei i ki ia e £5,000 nga moni mo to ratou hea otira heoi nga moni i riro mai ia ratou £200. E inoi ana ratou kia pataia nga tikinga o tenei mea.

Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei: I te mea kna rongo te Komiti i te ripoata a Rata Petatone ki te Kawanatanga mo runga i nga moni i utua ki nga Maori o Rangitikei me te whakaaro hoki ki te roa o te wa kua pahure i muri iho, kahore he kupu a te Komiti mo runga i tenei tono.
