No. 340.—Petition of Tutange Waionui and 28 Others.
Petitioners pray that the restrictions against fishing in the Patea River may be removed, as the fish caught there are a source of sustenance to the Natives.
I am directed to report as follows: That this petition should be referred to the Government for consideration.

No. 340.—Pukapuka-inoi a Tutange Waionui me etahi atu 28.
E inoi ana nga kai-pitihana kia unuhia nga here mahi ika i roto o te Awa o Patea. No te mea ko nga ika tetahi kai nui a nga Maori.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei: Me tuku tenei pitihana ki te Kawanatanga kia whiriwhiria e ratou.
