Reports of the Native Affairs Committee, 1885.

No. 153.—Petition of Tamati Te Rangi

No. 153.—Petition of Tamati Te Rangi.

Petitioner alleges that he was the principal owner in a block of land at Tologa Bay known as Tauwhareparae. He was applied to by the Government Agent to sign a certain deed and use his influence with other owners. He said he would not do so under the sum of £500. And the Agent, one Jury, agreed to this, whereupon he signed the deed. He has not received the £500, but only a small portion—£50. He applied to Mr. Gill, who refused to pay the balance, but said he would obtain a pension for petitioner, which has not been obtained or granted. Was also promised by Captain Porter an area of two hundred acres, which has not been granted. He prays for relief.

Report and date same as No. 48.
