General Report.
TheNative Affairs Committee has the honour to report as follows: The following petitions have been dealt with during the Session 1890: 53.
Also, the Native Schools Sites Act Extension Bill, the Whangara Land Bill, and the Native Land Laws Amendment Bill.
Petitions undealt with: 71.
In the opinion of the Committee, owing to the large number of Native petitions, it is impossible to overtake the duties expected of it; it is therefore suggested that in the future the Government should appoint two Committees for the investigation of Native petitions, and that the attached list of the petitions undealt with should be inserted in the Maori Hansard.
