No. 38 of 1882.—Petition of Te Whiu te Kaitoa and 2 Others.
Petitioners state that the lands of Whakatahataha were wrongfully divided, No. 1 to the Ngatikuri, and No. 2 to the Ngatikorokoro; and that the Native Land Court can no longer act in the matter. They pray that a Bill may be passed allowing a rehearing of their case.
I am directed to report as follows:—
That, from the report of Judge Monro upon this case and minute thereon by Chief Judge Fenton, it seems to the Committee unnecessary to pursue the matter further.
[Translation.]
No. 38 of 1882.—Pukapuka-inoi a Te Whiu Te Kaitoa me etahi atu toku-rua.
E Ki ana nga kai-pitihana i he te whewehenga o nga whenua o Whakatahataha. Ko te No. 1 i hoatu ki a Ngatikuri, a ko No. 2 i hoatu ki a Ngatikorokoro; na kua mutu te mana o te Kooti Whenua Maori ki runga ki taua mea, heoi e inoi ana ratou kia paahitia tetahi Pire hei whakawa tuarua i taua whenua.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei:—
I runga i te ripoata a Tiati Moanaroa, me te kupu tuhituhi a Te Tumuaki a Te Penetana, e kitea ana e te Komiti kaore he take e mahia ai tenei mea.
