Report on Petition (No. 2) of Ngatitoa Tribe (14 signatures).

The petitioners, who are members of the Ngatitoa tribe, allege that at or after the purchase of lands in the neighbourhood of Wellington, Sir George Grey promised that certain reserves should be made for the Natives, and that these promises have not been carried out.

I am directed to report as follows:—The Committee regret that the time at their disposal has not been sufficient to enable them to make such inquiries as would justify them in reporting an opinion on the subject-matter of this petition.
