No. 458, 1906.—Petition of Ihaka Whaanga and 9 Others, of Te Wairoa, Hawke's Bay.

Petitioners pray that they may be awarded those portions of the Nuhaka No. 2e 3 Block which have been improved by them, and protest against the award by the Native Land Court of such portions to persons other that those who improved them.

I am directed to report that the Committee has no recommendation to make on this petition.
