Report of the Native Affairs Committee, 1883.

[No. 121.—Petition of Hipa te Maiharoa and Others (No. 1).]

No. 121.—Petition of Hipa te Maiharoa and Others (No. 1).

Petitioners state that that they are Natives of Waitaki, and claim that the purchases made in the Middle Island only extended to what could be seen from the coast, and that, therefore, they have a right to certain lands from which they say they have been removed wrongfully. They ask for investigation.

I am directed to report as follows:—

That the petitioners have offered no evidence in this case, and the Committee has no recommendation to make.

10th August, 1883.

[Translation.]
No. 121.—Pukapuka-inoi a Hipa te Maiharoa me etahi atu (No. 1).

E ki ana nga kai-pitihana he tangata Maori ratou no Waitaki e mea ana ko nga whenua i hokona kihai i matara atu i ta te kanohi i kite atu ai i te taha moana a no reira i whai take ratou ki etahi whenua e ki nei i pana he tia mai ratou, e tono ana kia whakawakia ano.

Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei:—

Kahore he korero whai take a nga kai pitihana mo runga i tenei keehi heoi kahore he whakatau a te Komite.
