Reports of the Native Affairs Committee, 1877.

[Report on Petition of Moroati Kiharoa]

Report on Petition of Moroati Kiharoa.

This petition refers to certain disputes between the petitioner and Mr. Booth, a Land Purchase Officer of the Government, and requests advice as to how he shall act.

I am directed to report as follows:—

That, as the petition seems to have been intended less as a petition to the House than as a letter page 49to the Native members, and moreover, as no evidence has been submitted, the Committee have no opinion to offer.

John Bryce,
Chairman.

21st November, 1877.

[Translation.]
Ko te kupu a te Komiti mo runga i te Pukapuka-inoi a Moroati Kiharoa.

Ko te tikanga o tenei pukapuka-inoi mo etahi raruraru a te kai-inoi raua ko Puutu he Kai-hoko Whenua na te Kawanatanga a e tono ana ia kia tohutohungia atu he huarahi mona.

Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei atu ki te Whare:—

Ehara tenei i te tino tikanga pukapuka-inoi ki te Whare engari he pukapuka kau ki nga Mema Maori, tetahi hoki kahore he korero hapai i whakapuakina i te aroaro o te Komiti, no reira ka kore te Komiti e whakapuaki atu i tetahi whakaaro ma ratou.

John Bryce,
Tumuaki.
