No. 139.—Petition of Jane Maria Phillips.
Petitioner alleges that, owing to herself and sister (Sophia, the well-known guide) being absent from the Taranaki District when the lands of their ancestors were adjudicated upon, they have been totally excluded therefrom, and are in consequence landless. She prays for relief.
I am directed to report that the Committee considers this a special case for the favourable consideration of the Government, and recommends that legislation be passed this session to deal with this and similar cases in setting apart land to satisfy such claims.
[Translation.]
No. 139.—Pitihana a Jane Maria Phillips.
E ki ana te kai-pitihana na te ngaro o raua ko tona teina i Taranaki i te wa i whakawakia ai nga whenua o raua tupuna i kore ai raua e uru ki aua whenua, a te tukunga iho kaore kau o raua nei whenua. E inoi ana ia kia whakaorangia tona mate.

Kua whakahaua ahau kia, ki penai, ki to whakaaro o te Komiti he keehi motuhake tenei a e tika ana kia whiriwhiria paitia e te Kawanatanga, na reira ka whai kupu te Komiti kia paahitia he ture i tenei huihuinga o te Paremete hei whakahaere i tenei keehi me nga keehi katoa penei te ahua, a me wehe he whenua hei whakangata i ana tu kereeme.
