No. 445, Sess. II.—Petition of Atareta Mateana and Others.

Petitioners pray that their shares in the Oanui Block at Wairoa may be returned to them, as they did not sign the deed of conveyance.

I am directed to report as follows: That, if the statements in the petition are correct, the petitioners have their remedy at law; the Committee has, therefore, no recommendation to make.

16th December, 1887.
