No. 308, 1890.—Petition of Ihaka Ngapari.

Petitioner alleges that Mr. Commissioner Booth agreed that there should be 1,000 acres in a piece of land called Kukutauaki No. 4D, in the Manawatu district, but when it was surveyed it only contained 987 acres; therefore petitioner prays that the 13 acres may be granted.

I have the honour to report as follows: That the opinion of the Committee is that this petition be referred to the Government.
