Report on Petition of Maihi P. Kawiti

Report on Petition of Maihi P. Kawiti.

The petitioner prays that his pension, forty pounds (£40) a year, may be increased to two hundred and fifty (£250), and that it may continue to his children after him, on the grounds that he has, by selling land, building, &c., so benefited the white races as to warrant his petitioning in the above manner.

I am directed to report as follows:—That the Committee beg to recommend that the petition be referred to the Government, to take such action thereon as they may think meet.

John Bryce, Chairman.

27th July, 1876.
