Report of the Native Affairs Committee, 1883.

[No. 53.—Petition of Wiremu Katene te Mapu aud 11 Others (No. 2).]

No. 53.—Petition of Wiremu Katene te Mapu and 11 Others (No. 2).

Petitioners complain that Judge Wilson, in September, 1880, not only adjudicated (on a rehearing) upon Paengaroa North, but subdivided it. They ask for a rehearing, upon the ground that the lands ought not to have been subdivided.

I am directed to report as follows:—

That in this case there is a legal difficulty which the Committee is informed cannot be removed without legislation. As it is proposed to ask Parliament to provide for this and some other special cases this session, the Committee simply recommends that this petition be referred to Government for consideration.

[Translation.]
No. 53.—Pukapuka-inoi a Wiremu Katene te Mapu me etaki atu 11 (Nama 2).

E ki ana nga kai-pitihana i a Hepetema, 1880, whakawakia tuaruatia e Tiati Wirihana a Paengaroa Nota, na, kihai i mutu i kona, engari i wehewehea ano e ia taua whenua; no reira ratou ka tono kia whakawakia ano taua whenua i te mea hoki kaore i tika kia wehewehea.

Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei:—

Tera tetahi tikanga no te ture i raruraru ai tenei keehi, a, kua whakaaturia mai kia te Komiti me hanga rano he ture hou katahi ka taea—heoi i te mea e tonoa ana te Paremete i tenei tuunga kia hangaia tetahi tikanga mo tenei etahi atu keehi penei, e mea ana te Komiti me tuku atu tenei pitihana he whakaarohanga ma te Kawanatanga.
