No. 323, 1897.—Petition of Pirihira Tarewa Urupine and 2 Others.
Petitioners complain that they have been wrongfully excluded from succession to certain deceased persons, owners in the New Zealand Company's "tenths," and they pray for inquiry and relief.
I am directed to report that the Committee recommends the Government should carry out the suggestion contained in the report of the Chief Judge of the Native Land Court on this petition (dated the 5th August, 1898)—viz.: "That the petitioners should be referred to the Chief Judge of the Native Land Court with a view to the case being reopened under section 62 of 'The Native Land Laws Amendment Act, 1895.'"

No. 323, 1897.—Pitihana a Pirihira Tarewa Urupine me etahi atu tokorua.
E ki ana nga kai-pitihana e he ana te korenga kaore ratou i whakaturia hei kai-riiwhi mo etahi tangata kua mate, i uru ki nga "whakatekau" o te Kamupene o Niu Tireni, a e inoi ana kia uiuia a kia whakaorangia to ratou mate.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei, ki te whakaaro o te Komiti me whakatutuki e te Kawanatanga nga kupu tohutohu a te Tumuaki Kai-whakawa o te Kooti Whenua Maori mo tenei pitihana (i tuhia nei i te 5 o Akuhata, 1898)—ara: "Me unga atu nga kai-pitihana ki te Tumuaki Kaiwhakawa o te Kooti Whenua Maori mana e whakakaere atu i runga i tetahi tikanga e whakatuwheratia ai e ia taua keehi i raro i te mana o tekiona 62 o 'Te Ture Whakatikatika i nga Ture Whenue Maori, 1895.'"
