No. 306, 1878.—Petition of Paora Haenga and Others.
Petitioner states that when the purchase-money (£88) was paid by the Government for a piece of land called Awanui, of which he was the principal owner, he objected to the way in which it was proposed to divide the money, and in consequence has received none of it from that day to this. He prays, therefore, that the piece of land may be returned to him.

I am directed to report as follows:—
That this is a question about the division of the purchase-money for certain lands, and can only he satisfactorily settled by Government, to whom we recommend the petition to be referred for final settlement.
Translation.
No. 306, 1878.—Pukapuka-inoi a Paora Haenga ma.
E ki ana nga kai-inoi i te wa i utua ai te moni £88 e te Kawanatanga mo tetahi whenua ko te Awanui te ingoa, no te kai-inoi te tino putake o taua whenua, whakahe ana ia ki te tikanga wehewehenga o te moni, no reira i kore ai ia e whiwhi ki tetahi wahi o taua moni, taea noatia tenei ra. Koia i tono ai kia whakahokia taua whenua ki a ia.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei:—
Ko tenei korero mo te wawahi i nga moni hoko o etahi whenua a ma te Kawanatanga anake e tino whakaoti pai, no reira ka tukua atu tenei kia ratou hei whakaritenga ma ratou.
