No. 138, Sess. II.—Petition of Ngarangi Katitia and 26 Others.

Petitioners complain of the way their leasehold land is dealt with by the Government, and pray that the Act may be so amended that they may receive their rents direct from the leaseholder, and that they may occupy the land as soon as the leases run out.

I am directed to report as follows: That, as the Government are introducing a Bill this session dealing with this matter, the Committee recommends the petition be referred to them for consideration.
