Report on the Petition of Hoani Enoka and 10 Others (No. 2).
Petitioners pray that confirmation be given to their title to land alleged by them to have been promised to their tribe (the Rangitane) by the Native Minister.
I am directed to report as follows:—That such evidence as the Committee have been able to obtain goes to show that no such promise as that referred to in the petition was ever made, and the Committee cannot therefore recommend the prayer of the petitioners to the favourable consideration of the House.
John Bryce,
Chairman.
