No. 253.—Petition of Hohepa Horia and 39 Others.
Petitioners pray that the rivers in the neighbourhood of Kaiapoi, Canterbury, may be exempted from the restrictions as to taking whitebait with set nets.
I am directed to report that, as the Committee is advised the Government is issuing regulations dealing with this question, it has no recommendation to make.

No. 253.—Pitihana a Hohepa Huria.
E inoi ana nga kai-pitihana kia kapea nga awa e tata ana ki Kaiapoi, Katapere, ki waho o nga ritenga arai e mea nei kaua te mata e patua ki te koko whakahi.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei, i te mea kua tae mai te whakaatu ki te Komiti kei te whakaputaina e te Kawanatanga he tikanga whakahaere mo enei tu take, na reira kaore kau a te Komiti kupu.
