No. 101.—Petition of Piripi Te Maori and Others.
Petitioners suggest that the Native Land Court may be held in Native districts only, and not in towns, as they, the Natives, spend all their money when they have to go into towns to attend the Court. They also suggest that permanent Judges may be appointed for the different districts.
I am directed to report as follows: That the suggestions contained in the petition are worthy of consideration, and the Committee recommend the same to the consideration of the Government.
[Translation.]
No. 101.—Pukapuka-inoi a Piripi te Maori me etahi atu.
E tono ana nga kai-pitihana kia tu nga Kooti Whenua Maori ki nga nga takiwa Maori anake kaua ki nga taone no te mea e pau katoa ana a ratou moni me ka haere ki nga taone whakawa ai i o ratou whenua e mea ana hoki ratou me whakatuturu nga Tiati mo ia Takiwa mo ia Takiwa.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei: Ko nga take e mau nei i roto i tenei pitihana he tika ano kia whakaarohia, a kua tono te Komiti kia whakaarohia e te Kawanatanga.
