No. 352.—Petition of Hapara W. Ngahakiki and Others.

Petitioners state there are three lists of names of owners of the Rotorua Township, Pukeroa-Oruawhata Block—viz., (1) the old people, (2) the men and women who married into other tribes, and (3) the children whose parents are alive and have their names included in one or other of the above lists. They ask that their names may be shifted from the third to the first list, for reasons which they state.

I am directed to report as follows: That this petition should be referred to the Government for inquiry.
