Reports of the Native Affairs Committee, 1893.

[No. 485, 1892.—Petition of Richard Blake and others.]

Petitioners pray that they may have control of their own lands, instead of the same being left in the hands of the Public Trustee.

I have the honour to report that the Committee is of opinion that this petition should be referred to the Government.

8th August, 1893.

E inoi ana nga kai-pitihana kia tukua ki a ratou te whakahaere o ratou whenua a kia kaua e waiho ma te Kaitiaki o te Katoa e whakahaere.

Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei: Ki te whakaaro o tenei Komiti me tuku tenei pitihana ki te Kawanatanga kia whiriwhiria e ratou.
