Report on Petition of Kohu Wi Paraone and 4 Others.

Petitioners pray that the House will consider the distress under which they are suffering through their land being taken for the crimes of the whole tribe.

Also, that the burial-place at Huria may be cut off from Major Roberts's farm.

I am directed to report as follows:—

That the Committee cannot recommend any action to be taken in reference to the first part of the petition; and, with regard to the second, the Committee are of opinion that, if possible, the wish of the petitioners be complied with, and that the Government be recommended accordingly.
