No. 138.—Petition of Henare Werahiko.

Praying for compensation for land and ballasting taken for railway purposes between Ngongotaha and Te Koutu Pa, Rotorua District.

I am directed to report that the Committee finds this question is awaiting inquiry by the Native Land Court; they therefore recommend that the Government be requested to have the matter pushed forward in order that a settlement may be come to without delay.
