No. 111, Sess. II., 1887.—Petition of Ihakara Rangiahua and 5 Others.
Petitioners pray that certain reserves called Omanaia No. 5 and Karangatuoro, which were promised to them out of a block purchased by Sir Donald McLean in 1849, may be given to them as promised, as those reserves contain their eel-fisheries.
page 25I am directed to report as follows: That the petition should be referred to the Government for consideration.
