No. 126.—Petition of Hunia Marupo and 2 Others.

Petitioners, who are members of the Ngatiawa Tribe and returned rebels, state that a piece of land was given to them supposed to contain 100 acres, but was found only to contain 58 acres. They pray that 42 acres more may be given to them.

I am directed to report as follows: That this petition should be referred to the Government for inquiry.

[Translation.]
No. 126.—Pukapuka-inoi a Hunia Marupo me etahi atu Tokorua.

Ko nga kai-pitihana he tanga no te iwi o Ngatiwa, a i hoki mai i muri iho i ta ratou mahi hapai pu, a e ki ana i hoatu tetahi piihi whenua mo ratou i maharatia 100 eka nga eka o taua whenua, erangi i kitea i muri iho e 58 anake nga eka. E inoi ana ratou inaianei kia hoatu kia 42 hoki nga eka ma ratou.

Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki panei: Me tuku tenei pitikana ki te Kawanatanga kia rapua e ratou nga tikanga.
