[No. 368.—Petition of Mere Paerau.]

No. 368.—Petition of Mere Paerau.

Petitioner states that when the Rangitikei-Manawatu Block was sold to the Government her people reserved as residence for themselves a thousand acres, but they found out afterwards that the Government had taken the whole of the land, including the thousand acres which they had reserved. She prays that the reserve may be returned to her and her people.

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

[Translation.]
No. 368.—Pukapuka-inoi a Mere Paerau.

E ki ana te kai-pitihana i te hokonga a te Kawanatanga i te Rangitikei-Manawatu Poraka i rahuitia e tona iwi 1,000 eka hei kainga mo ratou, no muri iho ka kitea e ratou kua tangohia katoatia e te Kawanatanga te whenua hui atu ki taua 1,000 eka i rahuitia nei e ratou. E inoi ana ia kia whakahokia taua whenua ki aia me tona iwi.

Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei: Me tuku tenei pitihana ki te Kawanatanga kia whakaarohia e ratou.
