No 34.—Petition of Paratene Matenga and 230 Others.
Petitioners pray that a medical practitioner may be appointed to attend solely to the Maoris of the Wairarapa.
I have the honour to report that the Committee recommends that the Government should favourably consider the prayer of this petition, and, if possible, subsidise a medical man without delay.

E Inoi ana nga kai-pitihana kia whakaturia he Takuta motuhake mo nga Maori o Wairarapa.
E whai honore ana ahau ki te ripoata ki te whakaaro a te Komiti me pai te whiriwhiri a te Kawanatanga i te inoi a tenei pitihana, a ki te taea, me whakarite tetahi taha o te oranga mo tetahi Takuta mo ratou, a kaua e whakaroaina tenei mea.
