Report on Petition of Henare te Moananui and Others. (Presented in 1876.)

This is a petition presented during last session, and referred back in consequence of the Native Affairs Committee of last year not having reported an opinion to the House.

Petitioners pray for the formation of a road between Whangarei and Tutukaka, and also for the erection of a school for their children, and state that they will never cease from urging these matters on the attention of the House.

I am directed to report as follows:—

That the Committee understand that during the recess the request for a school has been complied with. The demand for a road to be constructed is one which must be left for the consideration of the. Government; and I am directed to report accordingly.
