No. 57.—Petition of Wiremu Kauika and 20 Others (No. 1).

Petitioners complain that a piece of land of theirs called Maungapapa No. 2 was left in the hands of Colonel McDonell and Mr. Bryce to manage. They assert that as soon as Messrs. McDonell and Bryce received the Crown grant they sold the land, and the petitioners never received any money for it. They pray that the Government may return the Crown grant of that land to them.

Report and date the same as No. 48.
