Reports of the Native Affairs Committee, 1885.

No. 246.—Petition of Buruhura Karena

No. 246.—Petition of Buruhura Karena.

Petitioner alleges that when Mr. James Booth, District Commissioner, purchased a block of land (on behalf of the Government) called Paradise, he promised that a reserve of fifty acres should be given to the vendors; but the only land returned to them was five acres. She prays that an inquiry may be made into the matter.

I am directed to report as follows: That there are circumstances connected with this case which would warrant a more careful examination by the Government, and the Committee recommends this course.

18th August, 1885.
