No. 422, Sess, II. 1887.—Petition of John Chadwick.
Petitioner prays that he may be paid £100 which he agreed to take for money owed to him by certain Natives, and which Mr. Ballance, then Native Minister, Promised should be paid to him, but which promise was never carried out.
I am directed to report as follows: That the promise of the Government to pay £100 was conditional upon the Natives assenting, but that, as the Natives did not assent, this Committee has no recommendation to make.

No 422, Sess. II. 1887.—Pukapuka-inoi a Hone Tiaruwika.
E inoi ana te kai-pitihana kia utua ki aia nga moni £100 i whakaae ai ia ki te tango hei whakaea i nga moni ana i nama e etahi Maori, a i whakaaetia hoki e te Paranihi Minita Maori me utu ki te kai-pitihana, otira kihai taua whakaaetanga i whakamana.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei: i haere te whakaae a te Kawanatanga kia utua aua moni i runga i te whakaae a nga Maori, a i runga i te mea kihai i whakaae nga Maori, kahore he kupu a te Komiti
