No. 206, Sess. II.–Petition of Uru te Angina.

Petitioner, as chief of his tribe, states that a block of land, 90,000 acres in extent, called Kaitangiwhenua, was bought for the Government by Mr. Gill and a Mr. William Williams. That W. Williams obtained a cheque for £5,400 under pretence of cashing it for the Maoris, and never paid them any of it, but appropriated the money himself: they only received £500 in all, as an advance, during the surveying of the land. They pray that inquiries may be made.

Report and date the same as No. 16.
