No. 108, Session II.—Petition of Paora Parau and Others.

Petitioners pray that a portion of the Mutunga Block, consisting of 540 acres, may be returned to them, as the number of acres agreed upon to be given up to the Government, as confiscated land, was 5,000 acres, whereas the block contains 5,540 acres, as shown by the survey.

I am directed to report as follows:—

That the Committee regret that the time at their disposal has not been sufficient to enable them to complete the inquiry into this petition.
