No. 271, 1894.—Petition of Hoani Meihana te Rangiotu and Another.
Petitioners pray that they be paid for the 7,625 acres of land which they allege Government took in excess when purchasing the Pahiatua Block.
I have the honour to report that the Committee, considering the petitioners have good grounds for their claim, recommend that this petition be referred to the Government for inquiry.
