No. 127.—Petition of Hoani Turakina and 2 Others.

Petitioners state that a piece of laud called Tirohanga, in the Opotiki district, containing 1,000 acres, was promised to them by Sir Donald McLean; out it was found only to contain 154 acres. They now pray that the balance, 846 acres, may be given to them.

I am directed to report as follows: That this petition should be referred to the Government for inquiry.
