No. 151, 1890.—Petition of Piripi Pahina and Tribe re Tokomaru Block.

Petitioners pray that the land purchased by Mr. Arthur shall not be legalised until he has paid an adequate consideration for the land to which he seeks to acquire a title, and that a special Commission be appointed to investigate the subdivision of the said block.

I have the honour to report as follows: That, in the opinion of the Committee, this is a matter in which the Legislature cannot well interfere; therefore this Committee has no recommendation to make.
