Reports of the Native Affairs Committee, 1881.

[No. 60 of 1881.—Petition of Hori Ropiha and 5 Others]

No. 60 of 1881.—Petition of Hori Ropiha and 5 Others.

Petitioners claim Rakaiatai and Te Ohu as theirs, and complain that timber is being taken therefrom. They ask that the land and timber may be given back to them.

I am directed to report as follows:—

That the land referred to belonged to ten grantees, the interests of six of whom have been purchased by Government. The Government having stopped the plunder of timber that had been going on, and placed a policeman at Rakaiatai to prevent a recurrence of the trespass, the Committee has no recommendation to make.

13th September, 1881.

[Translation.]
No. 60 of 1881.—Pukapuka-inoi a Hori Ropiha me etahi atu e 25.

E Ki ana nga kai-pitihana na ratou a Rakaiatai me Te Ohu, e ki ana hoki kei te tangobia nga rakau o taua wahi.

Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei:—

Kotahi te kau nga tangata i uru ki te karaati mo taua whenua, a kua hokona e te Kawanatanga nga paanga o etahi o aua tangata toko-ono. Kua whakamutua e te Kawanatanga taua mahi tahae i nga rakau, a kua whakaturia hoki he pirihimana ki Rakaiatai hei arai i te haere pokanoa ki reira, kua kore he kupu ma te Komiti.
