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.
