Reports of the Native Affairs Committee, 1877.

[Report on Petition of Wikiriwihi te Tuahu, of Matata]

Report on Petition of Wikiriwihi te Tuahu, of Matata.

The petitioner prays that his son Aperahama may receive some Government work.

I am directed to report as follows:—

That the Committee believe this to be a matter in which the House ought not to interfere, and therefore cannot recommend the prayer of the petitioner to the favourable consideration of the House.

John Bryce,
Chairman.

[Translation.]
Ko te Kupu a te Komiti mo runga i te Pukapuka-inoi a Wikiriwhi te Tuahu, o Matata.

E tono ana te kai-inoi kia whakawhiwhia tana tamaiti, a Aperahama, ki te mahi Kawanatanga.

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

Ki te whakaaro o te Komiti e kore te Whare e marama ki te titiro i tenei mea, koia i kore ai ratou e kaha ki te ki atu ki te Whare kia tirohia paitia te tono a te kai-inoi.

John Bryce,
Tumuaki.
