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

[No. 84, Sess. II.—Petition of Merekihereka and 26 Others.]

No. 84, Sess. II.—Petition of Merekihereka and 26 Others.

Petitioners pray that the Stamp Duties Act may not be applied to the Maoris of New Zealand, as it would tend to make them penniless.

I am directed to report as follows: That this petition be referred to the Government for their careful consideration.

16th November, 1887.

[Translation.]
No. 84, Sess. II.—Pukapuka-inoi a Merekihereka me etahi atu e 26.

E Inoi ana nga kai-pitihana kia kaua te Ture Pane Kuini e whakaekea ki runga i nga Maori o Niu Tireni kei ngaua ratou e te powhara.

Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei: Me tuku tenei pitihana ki te Kawanatanga kia ata whiriwhiria mai e ratou.

16 o Nowema, 1887.
