Nos. 683, 704, and 706, 1903.—Petitions of Paratene Tatae and 50 Others, Hapi Kiniha and 111 Others, and Peka Kerekere and 74 Others.

Petitioners pray for restitution of a portion of the Patutahi Block, which they allege was taken in excess of the confiscation in connection with the Hauhau rebellion.

I am directed to report that the Committee recommends that this petition should be referred to the Government for consideration.
