No. 108, Seas, II., 1884.—Petition of Hoepa Tamamutu and 39 others.
Petitioners, Ngati Tuwharetoa, pray that the proceedings of the Maori Committee of Tuwharetoa, instituted by the Government in 1883, may be confirmed. They also pray that the boundary-line running through Taupo may be extended to the other side of Ruapehu. They want only to be apportioned to the East Coast, that they may be altogether under the jurisdiction of Major Scannell, of Taupo, and do not wish to be mixed up with the Arawa Committtee of Tauranga.
I am directed to report as follows: That this petition be referred to the Government for consideration.

No. 108, Sess. II., 1884.—Pukapuka-inoi a Hohepa Tamamutu me etahi atu e 39.
Ko nga kai-pitihana ko Ngati Tuwharetoa e inoi ana kia whakamana nga whakahaerenga o te Komiti Maori o Ngati Tuwharetoa i whakaturia nei e te Kawanatanga i te tau 1883. E inoi ana hoki ratou kia nukuhia te rohe e rere haere nei i roto o Taupo ki tera taha o Ruapehu. E hiahia ana ratou kia whakataua ratou ki te Tai Rawhiti anake, kia kotahi ai to ratou nohoanga i raro i te whakahaere a Meiha Kanara, o Taupo, kahore hoki ratou e hiahia kia whakauruhia ki roto i te Komiti o te Arawa i Tauranga.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei: Me tuku tenei pitihana ki te Kawanatanga kia whakaarohia e ratou.
