No. 472.—Petition of Taonui Hikaka and Others (No. 3).

Petitioners pray that the Chief Judge of the Native Land Court be removed from his position, and another European, acquainted with the Maori language and customs be appointed, and that certain change be made in Native Land Court procedure.

I am directed to report as follows: That this petition be referred to the Government, the Committee considering it is not called upon to interfere in a matter purely departmental.

[Translation.]
No. 472.—Pukupua-inoi a Taonui Hikaka me etahi atu (Nama 3).

E inoi ana nga kai-pitihana kia whakakorea te tunga o te Tumuaki o te Kooti Whenua Maori a me whakatu i tetahi Pakeha e matau ana ki te reo me nga tikanga me nga ritenga Maori, a me whakarereke te mahi a te Kooti Whenua Maori.

Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei: Me tuku tenei pitihana ki te Kawanatanga no te mea e whakaaro ana te Komiti ehara i te mea tika ma ratou kia tahuri ki te whakaruru i te take e pa ana ki tetahi Tari.
