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

[No. 27, Session II.—Petition of Ngatuere and Others.]

No. 27, Session II.—Petition of Ngatuere and Others.

The petitioners state that they are the owners of Wellington, inasmuch as it was insufficiently paid for in pipes, marbles, and other beguiling articles, instead of gold, silver, and precious stones. They pray that one million of acres may be returned to them, and that they may receive compensation to the extent of one million of pounds sterling.

I am directed to report as follows:—

That the Committee has no recommendation to make.

7th November 1879.

Translation.
No. 27, Session II.—Pukapuka-inoi a Ngatuere me etahi atu.

E ki ana nga kai-pitihana ko ratou nga tangata no ratou a Poneke, a no te mea i hokona ki te utu iti ki te mapero, ki te paipa, me etahi atu mea whakawai, kihai i utua ki te koura ki te hiriwa me etahi atu kowhatu utu nui. E inoi ana ratou kia whakahokia kia ratou kotahi miriona eka, a kia utua ratou ki te kotahi miriona pauna.

Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei:—

Kaore he kupu a tenei Komiti.

Noema 7, 1879.
