No. 47, Session II.—Petition of Taniora te Tahuri and Others.
Petitioners pray that a piece of land named Heruiwi, in the Pukahunui Block, may be investigated, as they were not present when it was adjudicated upon, and consequently were not entered in the Crown grant.
I am directed to report as follows:—
That this petition is one of that class that ought to be referred to the Government, or to a Court for the special purpose of investigating Maori claims.
Translation.
No. 47,
Session II.—Pukapuka-inoi a
Taniora te Tahuri me etahi atu.
E inoi ana nga kai-pitihana mo tetahi piihi whenua ko Heruiwi i roto i te poraka o Pukahunui kia whakawakia, no te mea kaore ratou i reira i te takiwa i kootitia ai, no reira hoki i kore ai ratou i uru ki roto ki te Karauna karaati.
Kua whakahaua ahua kia ki penei:—
Ko te ahua o tenei pitihana, he pitihana e tika ke ana kia tukua atu ki te Kawanatanga, ki tetahi Kooti ranei e whakaritea ana hei whakawa i nga take Maori.
