No. 145.—Petition of Hue te Hori and 26 Others.

Petitioners pray that the following Acts may he repealed, as they press unduly on the Natives—viz.: The Land Acquisition Act, the Land Transfer Act, and the Rating Act, and others.

I am directed to report that the Committee is of opinion that, as the petition refers to matters of policy, it should be referred to the Government for consideration.
