Reports of the Native Affairs Committee, 1879, No. 2.

No. 117, Session I.—Petition of Henare Kaihau and Ahipene Kaihau

No. 117, Session I.—Petition of Henare Kaihau and Ahipene Kaihau.

The petitioners claim compensation for the loss of the great canoe "Toki-a-tapiri," taken and injured during the war.

I am directed to report as follows:—

That the owners of the canoe were entitled, as loyal Natives, to compensation for its loss; and the Committee recommend that the sum of £700 be granted in satisfaction, to be reduced by any amount which may appear to have been paid on account of this claim.

22nd October 1879.
