No. 500, Sess. II., 1887—Petition of Matuahu Te Wharerangi and 27 Others.

Petitioners pray that a rehearing of the Kahukura Block may take place during the present sitting of the Native Land Court.

I am directed to report as follows: That it appears, from the evidence of Mr. Lewis, that the Chief Judge held an inquiry at Cambridge to determine applications for a rehearing of Taupo Nuiatia, which comprises the land referred to in the petition. The applications were determined. The matter is now before the Supreme Court. Therefore this Committee has no recommendation to make.
