THE OMARANUI REPORT.
[To THE Editob OF THE Daily T_l__ba__..] Sib, —I notice in your issue of Saturday that the Native Affairs Committee has reported somewhat unfavorably to me in the Omarauui matter. When I tell you the members of the Committee attending were Sir G. Grey, Messrs Sheehan, Rolleston, Bowen, Tawhai, Tairoa, Te Whiaro, and Tomoana, you will probably see that no other decision was likely to be arrived at. One of the members who decided this question was himself a petitioner, and in fact heard his own complaint. The absent members were Captain Russell, Messrs Wakefield, Mc'Lean, Hamlin, and Bryce. I care nothing for the report. I informed the Committee when I gave evidence that my position in Omaranui was in no way before them. lam quite satisfied with the enquiry, and feel convinced that the evidence has disclosed how this little matter has been worked. At my request it has been ordered to be printed ; it is now a public record, and shows pretty plainly how it was that this matter was kept so long open.—l am &c, F. Sctton.
