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

[No. 295, Session II.—Petition of Mohi Ngatata.]

No. 295, Session II.—Petition of Mohi Ngatata.

Petitioner prays that certain lands at Taranaki, which were confiscated by the Government, and which lands descended to him from his grandfather and grandmother, may be returned to him—he never having taken part in the strife between the Europeans and Natives.

I am directed to report follows:—

That the Committee regret that the time at their disposal has not been sufficient to enable them to complete the inquiry into this petition.

[Translation.]
No. 295, Session II.—Te Pitihana a Mohi Ngatata.

E inoi ana te kai-pitihana ko etahi whenua i Taranaki i raupatutia e te Kawanatanga ko aua whenua i taka mai ki a ia i tona tipuna tane me tona tipuna wahine a me whakahoki ki a ia no te mea kaore ia i uru ki roto ki te whawhai a te pakeha me te Maori.

Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei:—

E pouri ana te Komiti mo te poto o te takiwa i a ratou e oti ai te whiriwhiri i tenei pitihana.
