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.

No. 57.—Pukapuka-inoi a Wiremu Kauika me etahi atu e 20 (Nama 1).
E ki ana nga kai-pitihana ko tetahi pihi whenua a ratou e karangatia nei ko Maungapapa Nama 2 i waiho ma Kanara Maketonore raua ko te Paraihe e whakahaere. E ki ana hoki ratou i reira ano i te putanga o te Karaati kia Kanara Maketonore raua ko te Paraihe ka hokona e raua te whenua a kihai i riro mai he moni i nga kai-pitihana. E inoi ana ratou kia whakahokia te Karauna karati e te Kawanatanga kia ratou.
E rite tonu ana te ripoata mo tenei pitihana me te ra i tuhia ai ki te Nama 48.
