No. 219.—Petition of Henare Tahau and 15 Others. (Report No. 2.)
Petitioners, who are owners of a block of land called Okirae, state that they leased the land to two Europeans named Charles Cameron and Temeteme; they sold the lease to Joseph Abbott, who now says that they sold the land to him, which they deny. They pray for relief.
I am directed to report as follows: That, as Mr. Bruce, M.H.R., who presented the petition on behalf of the Natives, wishes it withdrawn, the Committee has no recommendation to make.

No. 219.—Pukapuka-inoi a Henare Tahau me etahi atu 15.
Ko nga kai-pitihana e whai take nei ki tetahi poraka whenua e karangatia nei ko Okirae, e ki ana i riihitia e ratou te whenua ki etahi Pakeha tokorua e karangatia nei ko Haare Kamarana me Temeteme; a i hokona e raua ta raua riihi kia Hohepa Apata, a e ki ana taua Hohepa Apata inaianei i hokona tonutia ki aia te whenua e Haare Kamarana me Temeteme. E whakahe ana nga kai-pitihana ki tenei me te inoi mo tetahi ora.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei: No te mea kua unuhia te pitihana e te Puruiti, kahore he kupu a te Komiti.
