No. 78, 1890.—Petition of Petera te Pukuatua and 3 Others.

Petitioners state that the promises made by Mr. Lewis on his first visit to purchase the Township of Rotorua have not been carried out, and that it was upon the faith of those promises that the Ngatiwhakaue agreed to sell, also that some of the surveys are incomplete; therefore they pray that the Government will carry out their promise.

I have the honour to report as follows: That this Committee has no recommendation to make.
