Reports of the Native Affairs Committee, 1881.

No. 176 of 1881.—Petition of Te Rerenga and 42 Others

No. 176 of 1881.—Petition of Te Rerenga and 42 Others.

Petitioners state that they always understood that the northern boundary of the confiscated lands in Taranaki was at Waipingao, near the White Cliffs, but that Mr. Parris, Civil Commissioner, has shown them a map setting out Te Horo (the Tunnel), a mile north of Waipingao, as the boundary. They pray that the boundary may be placed at Waipingao.

I am directed to report as follows:—

That the boundary of the confiscated land in Taranaki is fixed, by Order in Council of the 2nd September, 1865, at the Tunnel (Te Horo), and thence due east for a distance of twenty miles. The petitioners are wrong in supposing that Waipingao is the point of departure. The Committee has no power to interfere with the boundaries laid down in the Proclamation.

6th September, 1881.
