[No. 231, Session II.—Petition of Winia Pohotiraha and Others.]

No. 231, Session II.—Petition of Winia Pohotiraha and Others.

Petitioners pray that a block of land called Maungawhara may be reheard in the Native Land Court in February next, as they consider they have been improperly left out of the block which was adjudicated upon by the Native Land Court which sat at Cambridge.

I am directed to report as follows:—

That, if the rehearing of this case depend only upon form, the Government is recommended to carry out the desire of the petitioners, if, on consideration, it seems founded upon justice.

5th December 1879.

No. 231, Session II.—Te Pukapuka-inoi a Winia Pohotiraha me etahi atu.

E inoi ana o te kai-pitihana kia whakawa-tuaruatia tetahi poraka whenua ko Maungawhara e te Kooti Whenua Maori a te Pepuere e takoto mai nei, no te mea e whakaaro ana ratou i he te kapenga i a ratou ki waho o taua poraka i te whakawakanga a te Kooti Whenua Maori i Kemureti.

Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei:—

Mehemea e tau ana te whakawa-tuarua mo tenei whenua i runga i te ahua o te ture, heoi me ki atu te Kawanatanga kia whakamanaia te hiahia o nga kai-pitihana ana kitea e ratou te tika o nga take.
