No. 44.—Petition of Tairiri Papaka and 14 Others.
Petitioners complain that the Omahaki-te-Kohurau Block was put through the Native Land Court by Mrs. Donnelly unknown to them, and wrongfully awarded to her alone. They pray for reinvestigation.
I am directed to report that the Committee has no recommendation to make with regard to this petition.

No. 44.—Pitihana a Tairiri Papaka me etahi atu kotahi rau tekau ma wha.
E ki ana nga kai-pitihana i whakahaerea ngarotia i a ratou e Mrs. Donnelly (Airini Tonore), te whakawakanga a te Kooti Whenua Maori i Omahaki-te-Kohurau Poraka, a whakataua hetia ana ki a ia anake. E inoi ana ratou kia whakawakia ano taua whenua.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei, kahore kau he kupu a te Komiti mo runga i tenei pitihana.
