Reports of the Native Affairs Committee, 1877.

[Report on Petition of Hori Kawakura and Others]

Report on Petition of Hori Kawakura and Others.

Petitioners pray that a canteen in the Whakatane District may be done away with, as it has been the cause of trouble.

I am directed to report as follows:—

That the Committee recommend the prayer of the petition to the favourable consideration of the Government, as it appears to be very desirable to aid any efforts on the part of the Natives for the repression of drunkenness.

John Bryce,
Chairman.

23rd October, 1877.

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

E tono ana nga kai-inoi kia whakakorea atu tetahi Whare Hokonga Waipiro i Whakatane he take raruraru hoki tera ki a ratou.

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

E mea ana te Komiti ma te Kawanatanga e ata whiriwhiri pai te pukapuka-inoi he mea pai rawa hoki kia awhinatia nga mahi a nga Maori ki te pehi i te inu waipiro.

John Bryce,
Tumuaki.
