Reports of the Native Affairs Committee, 1888.

[No. 495.—Petition of Ihaia Te Awanui and 16 Others.]

No. 495.—Petition of Ihaia Te Awanui and 16 Others.

Petitioners pray that the Acts of 1887 and 1888, which propose to take from them the power to deal with their own lands, may be repealed, so that they may be allowed to deal with their own property as they may think fit.

I am directed to report as follows: That, as the subject matter of this petition is now before Parliament, the Committee has no recommendation to make.

28th August, 1888

[Translation.]
No. 495.—Pukapuka-inoi a Ihaia Te Awanui me etahi atu te 16.

E inoi ana nga kai-pitihana kia whakakorea nga Ture o te tau 1887 me 1888 no te mea e tango ana aua Ture i te mana whakahaere i o ratou whenua i a ratou. A me tuku ma ratou e whakahaere i o ratou whenua i runga ano i ta ratou huarahi i ta ratou huarahi i pai ai.

Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei: No te mea kei te aroaro o te Paremete nga take o tenei pitihana e whakahaerea ana, kahore he kupu a te Komiti.
