No. 184 of 1882.—Petition of Mereana Paraea.
Petitioner states that she has learned that her mother's relatives, Takiora Dalton and Rahiri, have each received 200 acres in Taranaki, and that the claims of herself and mother, Heni Kerei, are equally strong. Petitioner prays that her mother and herself may also receive 200 acres each in the same district.
I am directed to report as follows:—
That whatever claims the petitioner may have are included in those of her tribe, and can be effectively dealt with only by the West Coast Royal Commissioner.
[Translation.]
No. 184 of 1882.—Pukapuka-inoi a Mereana Paraea.
E Ki ana te kai-pitihana i rongo ia kua whiwhi nga whanaunga o tona whaea ara a Takiora Dalton me Rahiri i te whenua, e 200 i tetahi, e rua rau i tetahi o roto i te whenua i Taranaki. Na e rite tonu ana nga take o te kai-pitihana me tona whaea me Heni Kerei ki to taua hunga; heoi e inoi ana te kaipitihana kia hoatu hoki kia 200 eka mana, kia 200 eka ma tona whaea.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei:—
Mehemea he take o te kai-pitihana kei roto katoa i nga whenua o tona iwi, a ma te Komihana o te Tai Hauauru tena e whakahaere.
