No. 168, 1889.—Petition of Epeniha Ratapu and 100 Others.
Petitioners allege that when the Tokomaru Block was before the Court for subdivision it was wrongfully awarded; therefore they pray that a rehearing of the block may take place, and the land be fairly divided.
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.
