Reports of the Native Affairs Committee, 1884, No. 2.

No 66, Sess. I.—Petition of John Hislop and Others

No 66, Sess. I.—Petition of John Hislop and Others.

Petitioners pray that, for certain land leased by them from the Government, they may have either an extension of lease or reduced rents; as, owing to the short tenure and expense of clearing, they are unable to profitably meet the present rents.

I am directed to report as follows:—

That it be recommended that, in any amendment of the West Coast Settlement Reserves Act that may be introduced, there should be a clause enabling the lessees for twenty-one years to obtain a longer lease on equitable terms.

19th September, 1884.
