Report on Petition of Paraone Hinaki and Others.
Petitioners pray that no legislation on the subject of Native lands may take place during the present session, so that both races may join in framing a proper law next year.
I am directed to report as follows:—
That, as the proposed legislation on the subject of Native lands has been withdrawn from the consideration of the House for the present session, the Committee do not deem it necessary to report a specific opinion on the subject matter of this petition, but recommend its contents to the consideration of the House when the proposed legislation with regard to the management of Native lands is brought before it.
John Bryce,
Chairman.
