Report on Petition of Henare Tomoana and Renata Kawepo.
The petitioners, Natives of Hawke's Bay, pray for compensation for services rendered by them against the rebel chief Te Kooti in the Taupo country and elsewhere.
I am directed to report as follows:—
That the evidence taken by the Committee is to the effect that the petitioners have no good claim against the Colony.

Chairman.
