No. 422, Sess, II. 1887.—Petition of John Chadwick.
Petitioner prays that he may be paid £100 which he agreed to take for money owed to him by certain Natives, and which Mr. Ballance, then Native Minister, Promised should be paid to him, but which promise was never carried out.
I am directed to report as follows: That the promise of the Government to pay £100 was conditional upon the Natives assenting, but that, as the Natives did not assent, this Committee has no recommendation to make.
