No. 188.—Petition of Te Wharepapa and 11 Others.

Petitioners allege that a piece of land called Katiaka was awarded to Hanaro Mana, but another Maori sold it to a man named Harper without permission. They pray for inquiry into the matter.

I am directed to report as follows: That, if the statement in the petition is correct, the petitioner has his remedy at law. Therefore the Committee has no recommendation to make.
