No. 511, Sess. II.—Petition of Inia Tuhuru and 5 Others.
Petitioners state that, being chiefs of the Ngaitahu and Ngatimamoe Tribes, they sold millions of acres in the Middle Island some years ago to Europeans on the understanding they were to have hospitals, schools, &c., built for them, and ten per cent of the land given back. They pray for redress, as they say the promises have not been carried out.
Report and date same as No. 16.
