Report of the gold fields committee.
Report on the Petition of W. H. Taipari.
The Petitioner makes application for the sum of five thousand pounds (£5,000) for finding, giving information of, and opening a payable gold field in the Province of Auckland.
I am directed to report as follows:—"That the Committee are of opinion that the five thousand pounds (£5,000) reward offered by the Provincial Government of Auckland having been distributed (after full inquiry by a Special Commission appointed for that purpose) to the Petitioner and others, no claim now exists against the Government."

Chairman.
