No. 241, Session II.—Petition of Tapa te Whata and Others.

Petitioners state that they presented a petition in 1877, praying that inquiry might be made relative to the wrongful way their land was taken; that the Government were requested to investigate their page 18claims, but have not done so. They pray that the recommendation of the Native Affairs Committee of 1877 may be fulfilled.

I am directed to report as follows:—

That this Committee indorses the report of the Native Affairs Committee of the 17th August, 1877.

5th December 1879.

[Translation.]
No. 241, Session II.—Te Pukapuka-inoi a Tapa te Whata me etahi atu.

E ki ana nga kai-pitihana i tukua e ratou tetahi pitihana i te tau 1877 inoi ake kia tirotirohia o ratou whenua i tangohia hetia. I tonoa atu te Kawanatanga kia whakawakia o ratou take, na kihai ano kia whakawakia e te Kawanatanga. Na ka inoi ratou kia whakamanaia te kupu whiriwhiri a te Komiti o to 1877.

Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei:—

E rite ana te kupu a tenei Komiti ki ta te Komiti o te 17 o nga ra a Akuhata, 1877.

5 Tihema 1879.
