DISCUSSIONS IN PARLIAMENT.
R[eweti] T K[ohere}
It was the custom in the past to print debates in Parliament which affect the Maori People but that stopped because the paper was full. All the speeches by the members of Parliament are printed in a publication called ‘Hansard’ and it was to that that I went to find the speeches by the Maori members. Since Ngata and Pomare have been our members, both of them at ease in English, they have made important but not lengthy speeches.
