No. 234, Sess. II., 1887.—Petition of Hapimana Tunupaura and 6 Others.

Petitioners state that a piece of land which they lent to the Europeans during the war, and which the European and Native Forces occupied on several occasions, has been transferred to one H. Phillips. They pray that half that land may be returned to them.

I am directed to report as follows: That the petitioners claim has been practically settled by confiscation and subsequent arrangements. Therefore the Committee has no recommendation to make.
