No. 474.—Petition of Hikawera Muhupuku and 19 other Maori chiefs.
Petitioners pray that, excepting clauses 30 and 31 of the Native Land Court Bill, the Government Bills relating to Native land and property, and the Bill forwarded by certain Natives, be not passed into law at present, but be withheld in order to be referred to the Native meeting at Waitangi, next March.
I am directed to report as follows: That, as the subject matter of this petition has been dealt with by Parliament, the Committee has no recommendation to make.
[Translation.]
No. 474.—Pukapuka-inoi a Hikawera Mahupuku me etahi atu rangatira Maori 19.
E inoi ana nga kai-pitihana kia kaua e paahitia inaianei te Pire a te Kawanatanga e pa ana ki nga whenua me nga taonga Maori me te Pire i tukuna ki etahi Maori erangi me pupuri marire kia ahei ai te tuka kia whiriwhiria e te hui ka tu ki Waitangi i a Maehe e haere ake nei.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei: Kua oti te whiriwhiri nga take o tenei pitihana e te Paremete, heoi kahore he kupu a te Komiti.
