Nos. 439, 445, 446, 447, 448, 449, 450.—Petitions of Pokiha Taranui and 20 Others, Arama Karaka Mokonuiarangi and 662 Others, Arama Karaka and 243 Others, Himiona Te Kura and 161 Others, Pene Mokai and 80 Others, Whiripo te Puni and 66 Others, Ranapia te Waikaku and 74 Others.

Petitioners pray that clause 6 of "The Native Land Bill, 1888," which imposes taxation on Native lands, may be struck out of the Bill.

I am directed to report as follows: That, as the Government have intimated to the Native members that the rating clause objected to by these petitions will be withdrawn, the Committee has no recommendation to make.
