No. 148.—Petition of Pererika Ngahuruhuru.
Petitioners state that, at a meeting held between the two tribes called Ngatiwharoa and Ngatitahu, a Committee was formed to carry out matters for the two tribes. (They give the names of the Committee appointed.) They pray that the road from Rotorua to Paeroa, and from thence to Runanga, finishing at Napier, may be proceeded with, as it will improve the value of the Government and Native lands.
I am directed to report as follows: That this petition should be referred to the Government for consideration.

No. 148.—Pukapuka-inoi a Pererika Ngahuruhuru.
E ki ana te kai-pitihana i runga i tetahi hui i turia i waenganui i enei iwi e rua ia Ngatiwharoa me Ngatitahu i whakaturia tetahi Komiti hei whakahaere i nga tikanga i waenganui i nga iwi e rua, (I tukua mai ano nga ingoa o nga tangata o te Komiti i whakaturia.) E inoi ana ratou kia mania te huarahi timata i Rotorua tae noa ki Paeroa mau atu ki reira ki Runanga a tutuki noa ki Nepia, ko te take i penei ai ta ratou inoi he mea ma tenei rori e nui haere ai te utu o o ratou whenua me nga whenua Kawanatanga hoki.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei: Ko tenei pitihana me tuku ki te Kawanatanga kia wnakaarohia e ratou.
