Reports of the Native Affairs Committee, 1888.

[No. 339.—Petition of Rev. Wiremu Turipona and 69 Others.]

No. 339.—Petition of Rev. Wiremu Turipona and 69 Others.

Petitioners pray that their district may be proclaimed a Maori district under the provisions of the Licensing Act, and that no more licenses may be issued for the sale of fermented and spirituous liquors in that district.

I am directed to report as follows: That this is an important matter affecting the Maori race, and that it be referred to the Government for consideration.

5th July, 1888

[Translation.]
No, 339.—Pukapuka-inoi a Wiremu Turipona me etahi atu 69.

E inoi ana nga kai-pitihana kia panuitia to ratou takiwa i raro i te mana o te Ture Raihana Waipiro, kia kaua e whakaaetia he raihana hou i roto i to ratou takiwa mo te hoko waipiro. Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei: He take nui tenei e pa ana ki te Iwi Maori ko te mea tika me tuku atu ki te Kawanatanga kia ata whiriwhiria.
