No. 320, Sess. II., 1884.—Petition of Mihaka Rererangi and 9 Others.

Petitioners state that certain land between the Okutuku and Waitotara Blocks were leased by them to a European named Nicholson. They pray that he may pay them the rent himself, and not the Government.

I am directed to report as follows: That the petition is vague, and, as the Committee has no evidence before it, there is no recommendation.
