No. 466, 1905.—Petition of Hohepa Hawira and 196 Others.

Petitioners pray that no laws may be passed which would have the effect of depriving Maoris of their lands.

I am directed to report that, as this petition refers to a matter of policy, the Committee offers no opinion on its merits, but recommends that it should be referred to the Government.

15th September, 1905.

[Translation.]
No. 466, 1905 —Pitihana a Hohepa Hawira ratou ko etahi atu kotahi rau e iwa takau ma ono.

E inoi ana nga kai-pitihana kia kaua e paahitia etahi tare hei tango i nga whenua o nga Maori.

Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei, i te mea e pa ana tenei pitihana ki nga tikanga whakahaere a te Kawanatanga, kaore te Komiti e whai kupu mo tona aronga, engari ki tona whakaaro me tuku atu ki te Kawanatanga.
