Reports of the Native Affairs Committee, 1888.

[No. 183.—Petition of Hone Mohi Tawhai and 84 Others.]

No. 183.—Petition of Hone Mohi Tawhai and 84 Others.

Petitioners state that a survey has been made of a short piece of road leading from the Hokianga River to the Special Settlements, which road will run through Maori land. They say they are willing to give the land for the road, as when made it will be a public benefit.

I am directed to report as follows: That this petition be referred to the Government for their consideration.

14th June, 1888

[Translation.]
No. 183.—Pukapuka-inoi o Hone Mohi Tawhai me etahi atu e 84.

E ki ana nga kai-pitihana kua ruritia tetahi wahi rori poto nei e rere atu ana i te awa o Hokianga ki te whenua whakanoho motuhake, a ko taua rori e rere haere ana ra roto i te whenua Maori. E ki ana ratou e pai ana ratou ki te hoatu i te whenua mo taua rori, no te mea ki te oti tana rori ka puta he painga mo te katoa.

Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei: Me tuku tenei pitihana ki te Kawanatanga kia whiriwhiria e ratou.
