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.

No. 188.—Pukapuka-inoi a Te Wharepapa me etahi atu 11.
E ki ana nga kai-pitihana i whakataua tetahi piihe whenua e karangatia nei ko Katiaka i whakataua kia Henare Maria, erangi i hokona e tetahi atu Maori kia Hapa i runga i te mea kihai i whakaaetia.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei: Mehemea e tika ana nga korero o te pitihana, ka ahei te kai-pitihana te tuku i tana keehi kia whakawakia e te tare. Heoi kahore he kupu a te Komiti.
