Reports of the Native Affairs Committee, 1890.

[No. 110, 1890.—Petition of Inuwaitai de Thierry.]

No. 110, 1890.—Petition of Inuwaitai de Thierry.

The petitioner (a widow), an aboriginal native woman, and entitled to certain lands at Taranaki, held under "The West Coast Settlement (North Island) Act, 1880," and "The West Coast Settlement Reserves Act, 1881," but in the hands of the Public Trustee, prays that the land may be freed from all restrictions so as to enable her to dispose of what is useless, and thus save her home for herself and her family.

I have the honour to report as follows: That, in the opinion of the Committee, this petition be referred to the Government for their favourable consideration.

26th August, 1890.

[Translation.]

He pouaru te kai-pitihana a he wahine Maori tuturu e whai take ana ki tetahi whenua i Taranaki e puritia ana i raro i "Te Ture Whakanohonoho o te Tai Hauauru, 1880," me "Te Ture Whakanohonoho Rahui o te Tai Hauauru, 1881," erangi kei te Kai-tiaki o te Katoa e whakahaere ana, a e inoi ana ia kia unuhia nga here kia ahei ai ia te hoko i te wahi kahore ona painga ki aia me te tiaki ano i te wahi e nohia nei e ia hei kainga mo tona whanau.

Kua whakahaua ahau kia ripoata penei: Ki te whakaaro o tenei Komiti me tuku tenei pitihana ki te Kawanatanga kia whiriwhiria e ratou.
