Reports of the Native Affairs Committee, 1881.

[No. 164 of 1881.—Ihaia Tainui and 3 Others]

page 9

No. 164 of 1881.—Ihaia Tainui and 3 Others.

Petitioners state that, in 1879, Mr. Commissioner Young awarded them certain lands for which Crown grants were to have been issued, and that these grants have not been made, on the grounds that the lands had not been surveyed. The petititioners pray for the immediate survey and subdivision preparatory to the issue of the grants.

I am directed to report as follows:—

That, in the opinion of this Committee, the request of the petitioners for the individualization of their titles is one which can be complied with, and ought to be given effect to without further delay; special care being taken to secure the reserved lands, to provide for a fair distribution of rents, and to protect the rights of any persons now in occupation.

[Translation.]
No. 164 of 1881.—Pukapuka-inoi a Ihaia Tainui me etahi atu e 3.

E Ki ana nga kai-pitihana no te tau 1879 ka whakataua e Komihana Ianga etahi whenua ki a ratou, ko nga Karauna karaati kihai i puta, na ko aua Karauna karaati, kaore ano kia hangaia i te mea kaore ano kia ruritia aua whenua. E inoi ana nga kai-pitihana kia tere tonu te ruri, a kia wehewehea aua whenua i mua atu i te putanga o nga karaati.

Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei:—

Na, i runga i te whakaaro o tenei Komiti, ko te tono a nga kai-pitihana mo te wehewehe i o ratou paanga he mea tena e taea ana te mahi, a me tere tonu te whakamana; me ata whakaaro ano kia mau nga whenua rahui, me tuha tika nga moni reti, a me tiaki nga take o nga tangata e noho mai nei i runga i aua wahi.
