Report on Petition of Pairama Ngutahi and Others.
The petitioners pray that a license to sell spirits may he granted to Mihaka Mahoare (a principal chief of Kaipara), under the Sale of Spirits Act.
I am directed to report as follows:—
That the Committee are of opinion that this is a matter in which the House ought not to interfere, and cannot therefore recommend the prayer of the petitioners to the favourable consideration of the House.
John Bryce,
Chairman.
