No. 59, 1888.—Petition of Para te Hiwinui and 3 Others.

Petitioners pray that the Rereatukahia Block, which was sold to the Government by Moananui, may be returned to them, as it was wrongfully sold.

I am directed to report as follows: That the Committee recommend the prayer of the petitior to the immediate attention of the Government, as it appears to be a matter over which they (the petitioners) are feeling much concerned.
