No. 110, 1890.—Petition of Inuwaitai de Thierry.

The petitioner (a widow), an aboriginal native woman, and entitled to certain lands at Taranaki, held under "The West Coast Settlement (North Island) Act, 1880," and "The West Coast Settlement Reserves Act, 1881," but in the hands of the Public Trustee, prays that the land may be freed from all restrictions so as to enable her to dispose of what is useless, and thus save her home for herself and her family.

I have the honour to report as follows: That, in the opinion of the Committee, this petition be referred to the Government for their favourable consideration.
