Reports of the Native Affairs Committee, 1887, No. 2.

[No. 150, Sess. I.—Petition of Heta te Haara and 21 Others.]

No. 150, Sess. I.—Petition of Heta te Haara and 21 Others.

Petitioners camplain that European fences, dividing their land from Native land, are not sufficiently strong to prevent the European sheep and cattle from straying on to Native land, and does not prevent the Native pigs from trespassing on European land. They pray that barbed wire may be used in the erection of such fences.

I am directed to report as follows: That the petitioners have their remedy at law. The Committee has therefore no recommendation to make.

22nd November, 1887.

[Translation.]
No. 150, Sess. I.—Pukapuka-inoi a Heta te Haara me etahi atu e 21.

E Ki ana nga kai-pitihana kihai i pai kihai i kaha te hanga o nga taiepa wehewehe a nga Pakeha i waenganui i nga Pakeha me nga Maori hei arai atu i nga hipi me nga kau a nga Pakeha, kahore ano hoki aua taiepa i pai hei arai i te haerenga o nga poaka a nga Maori ki runga i nga whenua o nga Pakeha. E inoi ana ratou kia hanga aua taiepa ki te waea whakataratara.

Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei: Ma te Ture e whakaora i te mate o nga kai-pitihana, no reira kahore he kupu a te Komiti.

22 o Nowema, 1886.
