Reports of the Native Affairs Committee, 1877.

[Report on Petition of Teone Paraone and Others]

Report on Petition of Teone Paraone and Others.

Petitioners (Natives of the Wairarapa) pray for the establishment of a Native school in their district, so that the Maoris and Europeans may become one united people.

I am directed to report as follows:—

That the Committee have no opinion to report, as the prayer of the petition appears to be a matter for the consideration of the Government.

John Bryce,
Chairman.

23rd October, 1877.

[Translation.]
Ko te kupu a te Komiti mo runga i te Pukapuka-inoi a Teone Paraone ma.

No Wairarapa enei kai-inoi a e tono ana ratou kia whakaturia tetahi kura Maori ki to ratou takiwa, kia iwi kotahi ai te Maori me te Pakeha.

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

Kahore he kupu ma te Komiti notemea ko te tono a te Kai-inoi he mea ma te Kawanatanga e whiriwhiri.

John Bryce,
Tumuaki.

Oketopa 23, 1877.
