No. 70.—Petition of Reneti Tapa and 347 Others.
Petitioners pray that the Native Land Administration Act may be repealed, as most of the provisions contained therein bear heavily on the Maori race.
I am directed to report as follows: That in the present state of public business it is not desirable to pronounce upon the merits of this petition this session, and that the consideration of it be postponed until next session.
2nd June, 1887.
[Translation.]
No. 70.—Pukapuka-inoi a Reneti Tapa me etahi atu e 347.
E Inoi ana nga kai-pitihana kia whakakorea te Ture Whakahaere Whenua Maori, notemea he maha nga tikanga i roto i taua Ture e toimaha ana te pehi i nga Maori.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei: I runga i te raruraru o nga mahi Kawanatanga e kore e tika kia korerotia nga tikanga o tenei Pire i tenei Paremete erangi me waiho te whiriwhiringa mo a tera Paramete.
