No. 8, Sess. I.—Petition of Anaru te Kakahi te Urungatu and 42 Others.
Petitioners pray that a piece of land at Waiapu called Te Rahui, which was given for a site for a Magistrate's residence, and never used for that purpose, may be returned to them.
I am directed to report that the Committee are not prepared to interfere in this matter, which should, in their opinion, be mutually arranged between the Government and the Natives.
[Translation.]
No. 8, Sess. I.—Pitihana a Anaru te Kakahi te Urungatu me etahi atu e wha tekau ma rua.
E inoi ana nga kai-pitihana me whakahoki ki a raton tetahi whenua kei Waiapu, tona ingoa ko Te Rahui, i hoatu i mua hei tuunga mo te Whare o te Kai-whakawa, i te mea kihai nga tikanga i hoatu ai i mahia ki runga ki taua whenua.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei, kaore te Komiti e pokanoa ki tenei mea, notemea ki ta ratou whakaaro me tiro tenei putake ma te Kawanatanga ratou ko nga Maori e ata whakariterite pai.
