No. 42, Sess. II., 1884.—Petition of Ngahaupoaraki.
Petitioner states that she is a member of the Ngatiruanui Tribe, and has been living on a reserve made by the West Coast Royal Commission, but a Native who assumes the power of a chief has turned her off her land and destroyed her house. She has now no land to live on. She prays the House to grant her such relief as they may deem fit.
I am directed to report as follows: That this is a case that can only be settled by a Court of law, in the usual manner. The attention of the Government should be called to the desirability of having the land individualized.
