No. 150, Sess. II.—Petition of Horomona Patu.

Petitioner states that certain lands belonging to him, and which he allowed people to occupy, have now been claimed by those people as their own. He prays that inquiry may be made into the matter, and his claim adjusted.

I am directed to report as follows: That, in the opinion of this Committee, the petitioner has not got the quantity of land he was entitled to, and therefore recommend that his claim should be satisfactorily settled without delay.
