Reports of the Native Affairs Committee, 1880.

No. 198, Session II., 1879.—Petition of Te Rehutai Te Wharau and 6 Others

No. 198, Session II., 1879.—Petition of Te Rehutai Te Wharau and 6 Others.

Petitioners allege that through a mistake of the late Sir Donald McLean and his officers a block of land called Te Putere was taken from them, and state that they are Government Natives. They ask for a statement of the grounds upon which the land was taken possession of by the Government.

I am directed to report as follows:—

That no evidence is before the Committee to show that the petitioners are interested in the block known to the Government as Te Putere; which is still in the hands of the Natives. The Committee has no recommendation to make.
