Nos. 59, 70, and 84, Sess. I.—Petitions of Wi P. Kakakura and 296 Others, Reneti Tapa and 347 Others, and Heta te Haara and 3 Chiefs of other Tribes.

Petitioners pray that the Native Land Administration Act may be repealed, as most of the provisions contained therein bear heavily on the Maori race.

I am directed to report as follows: That, as the Government have already intimated legislating in the direction asked for by the petitioners, these petitions be referred to them for consideration.
