No. 136, 1905.—Petition of Hare Raharuhi and 167 Others.
Petitioners pray to be placed on the same footing, as regards dealing with their lands, as are Europeans.
I am directed to report that, as this petition refers to a question of policy, the Committee has no recommendation to make.
[Translation.]
No. 136, 1905.—Pitihana a Hare Raharuhi ratou ko etahi atu kotahi rau e ono tekau ma whitu.
E inoi ana nga kai-pitihana kia rite tahi to ratou tu ki to nga Pakeha, mo runga mo nga tikanga e pa ana ki nga whakahaerenga tuku mo o ratou whenua.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei, i te mea e pa ana tenei pitihana ki nga tikanga whakahaere a te Kawanatanga, na reira kaore kau a te Komiti kupu.
