No. 403 of 1882.—Petition of Hure te Hiaro and 13 Others.
Petitioners pray that the Native Reserves Bill may not be passed, and ask to be heard at the bar of the House against it.
I am directed to report as follows:—
That, the petition being an appeal to the House to be heard at the bar of the House on a matter of public policy, the Committee makes no recommendation on a matter which rests in the discretion of the House.

No. 403 of 1882.—Pukapuka-inoi a Huru te Hiaro me etahi atu 13.
E Inoi ana nga kai-pitihana kia kaua e paahitia te Pire Rahui Maori, a e tono ana hoki kia whakarangona a ratou kupu whakahe ki te aroaro o te Whare.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki peuei:—
I te mea e tono ana te pukapuka-inoi ki te Whare i runga i tetahi tikanga e pa ana ki te katoa kaore he kupu a te Komiti ka waiho ke ma te Whare ano e whakaaro.
