No. 278, Sess. II., 1887.—Petition of Areta te Rito and Another.
Petitioners state that a piece of land belonging to them, called Pukehika, was awarded to them by the Native Land Court. Subsequently one of the grantees sold the land to Peter Walker. They pray that their grievance may be inquired into.
I am directed to report as follows: That if the transaction referred to in the petition is not a bona fide one the-petitioners have their remedy at law.

No. 278, Sess. II., 1887.—Pukapuka-inoi a Areta te Rito me etahi atu.
E Ki ana nga kai-pitihana i whakataua ki a ratou e te Kooti Whenua Maori tetahi whenua a ratou e karangatia ana ko Pukehika. I muri iho ka hokona taua whenua e tetahi o nga tangata i roto i te karaati kia Pita Waaka. E inoi ana ratou kia whiriwhiria to ratou mate.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei: Mehemea kahore i tika te hokonga o te whenua e mau nei i roto i te pitihana ka ahei nga kai-pitihana te tuku i taua take kia whakawhakia e te Tare.
