No. 162, Sess. II., 1887.—Petition of Peraniko Parakiri and 22 Others.

Petitioners state that some land was given to them by the Government for their services against the rebels; that the Crown grant was made out in favour of five persons only, who have since leased and sold the land and used the money. They pray for redress.

I am directed to report as follows: That the Committee recommends the petition to the favourable consideration of the Government.
