No. 253 of 1881.—Petition of Wi Pere and 31 Others (No. 3).
Petitioners state that they reside between Turanganui and Waiapu, and pray that power may be given to men chosen by the people to prevent evil persons from coming into the district, and to prevent persons belonging to the district from going away to join the Hauhaus.
I am directed to report as follows:—
That, as there is now a Bill bofore the House proposing to deal with similar questions, and being a matter of public policy, the Committee has no recommendation to make.
[Translation.]
No. 253 of 1881.—Pukapuka-inoi a Wi Pere me etahi atu 31 (Nama 3).
E Ki ana nga kai-pitihana e noho ana ratou i te takiwa i waenganui i Waiapu me Tauranganui, e inoi ana ratou kia hoatu he mana ki etahi tangata e whakaritea ana e te iwi hei arai i nga tangata kino e haere mai ana ki taua takiwa, hei pupuri hoki i nga tangata o taua takiwa kei haere ki nga takiwa Hauhau.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei:—
He Pire ano kei te aroaro o te Whare inaianei e mahi ana mo enei tu tikanga, a e pa ana hoki ki nga mahi whakahaere Kawanatanga, kaore he kupu a te Komiti.
