No. 354, Session II.—Petition of Matituariwha Taki and 6 Others.
Petitioners state that their land was wrongfully taken from them. It was surveyed stealthily by men from the East Coast. The name of the block is in the survey of Pakari Mangawhara. Mr. Gittos has called Sir George Grey's and Mr. Sheehan's attention to it; but their grievance has not been redressed.
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 make such inquiries as would justify them in reporting an opinion on the subject-matter of this petition.
[Translation.]
No. 354, Session II.—Te Pitihana a Matituariwha me etahi atu e 6.
E ki ana nga kai-pitihana i tangohia hetia to ratou whenua. I ruritia ngarotia e nga tangata o te Rawhiti. Ko te ingoa o te Poraka kei roto i te ruri o Pakari Mangawhara. Kua puta atu ano he kupu a Te Gittos ki a ta Hori Kerei me te Hiana engari kaore ano kia ea to ratou mate.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei:—
E pouri ana te Komiti i te poto o te takiwa i a ratou hei tirotirohanga ma ratou e tika ai te whakatau kupu mo runga i nga putake korero o roto i tenei pitihana.
