The Native Lands Settlement and Administration Bill.
The Native Affairs Committee, to whom was referred the above-mentioned Bill, has directed me to report that, after taking evidence at considerable length from Natives, representatives from all parts of the colony, in reference to the questions involved, it is found impossible, at this late period of the session, to give due consideration to the measure; it is therefore recommended that the Bill be allowed to stand over till next session, and in the meantime all evidence taken in connection therewith be printed.
[Translation.]
Pire Whakatautau Whakahaere hoki i nga Whenua Maori.
I tukuna mai e te Whare tenei Pire ki te Komiti mo nga Mea Maori, a kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei: Kua tuhituhia katoa e te Komiti nga korero a nga Maori i tukuna mai nei e nga iwi Maori katoa o te Koroni hei whakaatu mai i o ratou whakaaro mo te Pire me nga tikanga o roto, engari, mutu rawa ake taua mahi roa, kitea ana e kore te Pire e taea te ata whiriwhiri i te mea kua tata tonu te mutu o tenei tuunga o te Paremete; na reira ki te whakaaro o te Komiti me nuku te Pire mo te huihuinga o te Paremete e haere ake nei, engari i mua mai o taua huihuinga me perehi katoa aua korero a nga Maori i korero ai mo te Pire.
