No. 240, Session II.—Petition of Te Peka Moari and 34 Others.
Petitioners state that they are a portion of an important hapu, that their lands had been confiscated by the Government when they confiscated the Moumahaki Block, which is situated on the west side of the Waitotara River, and close to the Mamanga Pa. The boundaries of the land in question are described in the petition.
I am directed to report as follows:—
That the Committee has no information to enable it to decide upon the merits of the petition, but recommends it to the consideration of the Government.

No. 240,
Session II.—Te Pukapuka-inoi a
Te Peka Moari me etahi atu e 34.
E ki ana nga kai-pitihana he tangata ratou no tetahi hapu nui, na ko o ratou whenua kua raupatutia e te Kawanatanga i te raupatutanga i te Poraka o Moumahaki, e takoto ana taua poraka i te taha ki te rato o te awa o waitotara e tata ana te pa o Mamanga; ko nga rohe o taua whenua kei roto i te pitihana.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei:—
Kaore he korero i te aroaro o tenei Komiti e ahei te whakatau i nga take o te pitihana engari ka tukua atu ma te Kawanatanga e whakaaro.
