No. 26.—Petition of Reweti te Akau Wero and 17 Others.

Petitioners, who are members of the Ngaitahu and Ngatimamoe tribes, pray that their lands may not be brought under "The Native Land Administration Act, 1886."

I am directed to report as follows: That, as there are measures before the House dealing with the administration of Native lands, the Committee has no recommendation to make.
