Reports of the Native Affairs Committee, 1888.

Nos. 204, 416, and 260.—Petitions of Taonui Hikaka and 128 Others (No. 1), Hitiri te Paerata and 110 Others, and Te Papanui Tamahiki and 96 Others

Nos. 204, 416, and 260.—Petitions of Taonui Hikaka and 128 Others (No. 1), Hitiri te Paerata and 110 Others, and Te Papanui Tamahiki and 96 Others.

Petitioners, who claim to be owners in a block of land called Tauponuiatia, state that when the Court sat to adjudicate upon that land some of their people were unavoidably absent, and the land was awarded wrongfully to other Natives. Petitioners applied for a rehearing, which was refused. They now pray that a rehearing may take place.

I am directed to report as follows: That, as the matter is now under investigation by the Supreme Court, the Committee has no recommendation to make. [For evidence, vide I.-3d.]
