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.

E Inoi ana nga kai-pitihana kia whakawhakia tuaruatia te Kahukura Poraka inaianei i te wa e noho ana te Kooti Whenua Maori.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei: E kitea ana i runga i nga korero a te Ruihi i tu ano tetahi whakawa a te Tumuaki i Kemureti hei whiriwhiri i nga tono whakawa tuarua mo te Taupo Nuiatia Poraka (ara), te whenua e whakahuatia nei i roto i te pitihana a i whakaotia aua tono a kei te aroaro o te Huipirimi Kooti taua take inaianei. No reira kahore he kupu a te Komiti.
