[Teanslation.] No. 180.—Pitihana a Pieipi a Maaei me etahi atu toko rima. E inoi ana nga kai-pitihana kia uiuia nga mate kua pa ki a ratou mo runga mo te Moana o Wairarapa, a kia hoatu he ora mo ratou. Koia tenei te ripoata a te Komiti, i te tau 1893, i whiriwhiria ano tenei putake c te Komiti mo nga Mea Maori, a koia tenei ta ratou ripoata i tuku ai kite whare : " I hanga ano tetahi ripoata c tetahi Eoira Komihana i te tau 1890 mo runga i nga take katoa o tenei pitihana, tirohia te Pukapuka 11. ote Paremete 11., 1891, G.-4. E tino marama ana kua tau tetahi mate ki runga i nga Maori, a heoi nei te take, mehemea ma nga ropu takiwa c whakarite i aua mate ma te Kawanatanga ranei. E whakaaro ana tenei Komiti ma te Kawanatanga c whakarite, notemea na te Kawanatanga i hoko aua whenua ki nga Pakeha, me te whakatakoto i tetahi tikanga i roto i te Ture mo nga Mahi mo te Katoa i ahei ai te ropu Takiwa te keri i te wai keri timata mai i te roto tae atu kite moana, ana konei i tau ai tetahi mate ki runga i nga take katoa a nga Maori. E tono ana te Komiti kia tere tonu te whakahaere i tetahi tikanga, i runga ranei i te hoko i nga take a nga Maori i runga ranei i te whakarite i tetahi tikanga ki a ratou mo te mate i tau ki a ratou." Kei te pouri te Komiti i te mea kaore i tirohia te whakahau a te Komiti o te tau 1893, a ko tenei ka tino whakahau te Komiti, i te mea he tino pono kua pa he mate ki nga Maori, na reira ko te mea tika me whakaora taua mate. A ka apitiria c te Komiti tenei kupu, i te mea kua whakaaturia ki a ratou kei te kimi kereeme te Kawanatanga ma ratou mo te ruritanga o taua moana, ehara nei i nga Maori i whakahau kia ruritia, a kei te mea te Kawanatanga me hoko nga take paanga ki taua moana hei whakaea i taua ruri. Engari kei te tumanako tonu te Komiti c kore te Kawanatanga c haere i runga i taua tv huarahi. 8 o Oketopa, 1895.

No. 430.—Petition of William Henry Tucker (No. 2). Petitionee prays that he may be relieved from the litigation which is pending in regard to the Makauri, Taruheru, and Tahoka Blocks. I have the honour to report that, in the opinion of the Committee, the Court created under "The Poututu Jurisdiction Act, 1889," was meant to decide matters finally without appeal or rehearing, and, as doubts have been raised as to whether the statute carries out that intention, legislation should be passed this session making such intention clear. Bth October, 1895.

E whai honore ana ahau kite ripoata kite whakaaro a te Komiti ko te Kooti i whakaturia nei i raro i "Te Ture Mana Whakahaere mo Poututu, 1889," i maharatia ma tera c whakatau kia oti rawa, kia kaua ai c taea te tono ano kia whakawakia tuaruatia, nga putake katoa c tukuna atu ana ki taua Kooti, engari i te mea kua puta he awangawanga, tena pea kaore i te rite i taua Ture taua tikanga, na reira me mahi he Ture i tenei huihuinga o te Paremete hei tino whakatutuki i taua whakaaro. 8 o Oketopa, 1895.
