No. 954.—Petition of Tapata Harepeka and 13 Others.
Petitioners pray that the Motueka lands, Nelson, may be exempted from the law relating to the Nelson "Tenths," and that power be given to the owner of such lands to have the lease of his section terminated by the Public Trustee.
I am instructed to report that the Committee recommends that this petition should be referred to the Government for inquiry.

No. 954.—Pitahana a Tapata Harepeka me etahi atu tekau ma toru.
E inoi ana nga kai-pitihana kia kapea ki waho o nga ture e pa ana ki nga "Whakatekau o Whakatu" o ratou whenua i Motueka, Whakatu, a kia hoatu he mana ki te tangata nona te whenua kia taea ai te whakamutu o te riihi o tona tekihana e te Kai-tiaki mo te Katoa.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei, ki te whakaaro o te Komiti me tuku atu tenei pitihana ki te Kawanatanga kia uiuia.
