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.

No. 59, 1888.—Pukapuka-inoi a te Para te Hiwinui me etahi atu tokotoru.
E inoi ana nga kai-pitihana kia whakahokia ki a ratou a te Rereatukahia Poraka, hokona e te Moananui ki te Kawanatanga no te mea i he taua hoko.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei: E tono ana te Komiti kia hohoro te whiriwhiri e te Kawanatanga te inoi a nga kai-pitihana no te mea kei te nui to ratou pouri i runga i te hokonga o taua whenua.
