No. 120 of 1882.—Petition of Kamariera Heretaunga and 151 Others.
Petitioners pray for the withdrawal of restrictions placed on Maori lands in the Rotorua District by" The Thermal-Springs Act, 1881." They give no reason for their request.
I am directed to report as follows:—
That the petitioners having given no reason, either by evidence or otherwise, for their prayer, the Committee sees no ground for interfering with" The Thermal-Springs Act, 1881."

No. 120 of 1882.—Pukapuka-inoi a Kamariera Heretaunga me etahi atu 151.
E inoi ana nga kai-pitihana. Kia tangohia nga here o" Te Ture Ngawha, 1881," i runga i nga whenua Maori o te Takiwa o Rotorua. Kaore he take i whakaaturia mai e ratou mo ta ratou tono.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei:—
I te mea kaore nga kai-pitihana i tuku mai i a ratou take, i a ratou korero, i te aha atu ranei hei tuara mo ta ratou tono o mea ana te Komiti kaore he tikanga kia pokanoa ia ki" Te Ture Ngawha, 1881."
