No. 258, 1897.—Petition of Tahawera Wiapa and 5 Others.
Petitioners allege that through not having received notice of the sitting of the Court which adjudicated upon Sections 38, 40, 41, and 43, Parish of Rangitaiki, near Whakatane, they did not obtain their rights, and now pray for a rehearing to enable them to do so.
I am directed to report that the Committee has no recommendation to make with regard to this petition.

No. 258, 1897.—Pitihana a Tahawera Wiapa me etahi atu tokorima.
E ki ana nga kai-pitihana, i te mea kaore i tae atu ki a ratou he whakaatu mo te tuunga o te Kooti nana nei i whakawa a Tekiona 38, 40, 41, me 43, Parihi o Rangitaiki, e tata ana ki Whakatane, na reira kihai ratou i whiwhi ki o ratou tika, a e inoi ana i naianei kia whakaaetia he whakawa tuarua kia whiwhi ai ratou i o ratou tika.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei, kaore kau he kupu a te Komiti mo runga i tenei pitihana.
