No. 146.—Petition of W. Franklin Browne, of Wellington.
Petitioner prays that grants of land may be made to each of his children, the descendants of an influential Maori chieftainess, who, under certain circumstances, was deprived of her rights in Native lands in the Taranaki and Wellington Districts.
I am directed to report that the Committee recommends that this petition be referred to the Government for inquiry.

No. 146.—Pitihana a W. Franklin Browne, o Poneke.
E inoi ana te kai-pitihana kia hoatu he whenua mo ia o ana tamariki, he uri hoki ratou no tetahi wahine rangatira whai mana, no te mea hoki, i runga ano i etahi tikanga, i riro huhua kore noa iho nga tika o taua wahine ki nga whenua Maori i nga Takiwa o Taranaki me Poneke.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei, ki te whakaaro o te Komiti me tuku tenei pitihana ki te Kawanatanga kia uiuia.
