No. 26, Sess. II.—Petition of Te Aokatoa and 64 Others.
Petitioners, who are members of the hapu Raukawa, residing in the King Country, state that a Maori Committee has been granted to deal with lands in that district; that a Maori named Ngakuru has been elected a member of that Committee, which person they decidedly object to. They pray that inquiry may be made into the election of the said Ngakuru, and relief afforded them.
I am directed to report as follows:—
That this Committee has no recommendation to make.

Ko nga kai pitihana he tangata no te hapu o Raukawa, kei Waikato, e noho ana e ki ana kua whakaturia tetahi Komiti hei whakahaere i nga whenua i taua takiwa kua whakaturia tetahi tangata ko Ngakuru Komiti hei whakahaere i nga whenua i taua takiwa kua whakaturia tetahi tangata ko Ngakuru te ingoa hei mema mo taua Komiti erangi e whakahe rawa ana ratou ki aia. E inoi ana ratou kia pataia te tikanga o te pootitanga o Ngakuru kia mutu ai to ratou raruraru.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei:—
Kahore he kupu a te Komiti mo runga i tenei tone.
