[No. 259.—Petition of Wikitoria Kahuao and 8 Others.]

No. 259.—Petition of Wikitoria Kahuao and 8 Others.

Petitioners pray that quarter-castes on the European side may be allowed to inherit property through their Native relatives.

I am directed to report as follows: That the Committee recommend the Government to provide by Act of Parliament that, in all legislative enactments relative to Native lands and property, the words "Natives of New Zealand" shall include half-castes and their descendants.

13th July, 1888

[Translation.]
No. 259.—Pukapuka-inoi a Wikitoria Kahuao me etahi atu 8.

E inoi ana nga kai-pitihana kia whakaaetia nga tamariki a nga hawhekaihe e puta mai ana i te taha pakeha kia tika ratou ki nga whenua a o ratou whanaunga Maori.

Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei: Ki te mahara a te Komiti he mea tika ma te Kawanatanga i roto i nga Ture e mahia ana mo nga whenua Maori ko nga kupu "Maori o Niu Tireni" me tae atu ona tikanga ki nga hawhekaihe me o ratou uri.
