No. 287.—Petition of Nui Hare and Others.

Petitioners, who live at Hokianga, complain that the Government have appropriated a block of their land which has not yet passed the Court. They pray that the documents in reference to the land in question may be sent to them for perusal, and the land returned to them.

I am directed to report as follows: That this Committee recommend that the Government explain to the petitioners all the facts connected with the sale of the land, giving names of the Natives and hapus who sold it.
