No. 126.—Petition of Mereaina Rauangina and 151 Others.
Petitioners pray that the rights of the Maoris on the Wanganui River be not interfered with.
I have the honour to report that the Committee is of opinion the Government should act on the recommendation of the Wanganui River Trust Board, and depute the Hon. Native Minister to visit the district with a view to settling the dispute.

No. 126.—Pitihana a Mereaina Rauangina me etahi atu kotahi rau e rima tekau ma tahi.
E Inoi ana nga kai-pitihana kia kaua e takahia nga take tika o nga Maori ki te awa o Whanganui.
E whai honore ana ahau ki te ripoata, ki te whakaaro a te Komiti me whakahaere tenei mea e te Kawanatanga i runga i te whakataunga a te Poari Tiaki i te Awa o Whanganui, a me tuku atu ki te Minita mo nga Mea Maori mana e haere ki taua Takiwa ki te whakariterite i taua raruraru.
