No. 364 of 1882.—Petition of Timoti Puhipi.
Petitioner states that in 1868 Ruaroa, near Takahue, came into the possession of John Lundon; that in 1869 or 1870 he and others had signed a conveyance to Lundon; that this was done in field or house, and not in a Court or before a Justice; that up to the present time the laud has not been paid for; that therefore he will not allow Lundon, or any one to whom Lundon may transfer the holding, to occupy the land; and he prays that he may be put into possession of the ground belonging to his ancestors.
I am directed to report as follows:—
That this is a case which can be settled only by a Court of law, the dispute being between private individuals.
