No. 92, Session II.—Petition of Rawiri Mamaru and Others.
Petitioners state that 200 acres of their land was carried away by the River Waitaki, and that consequently they have not sufficient land to live upon, and pray that Government will compensate them for their loss by giving them some bush land for cultivation.
I am directed to report as follows:—
That the petition should be referred to the Government, with the opinion of the Committee that it should receive favourable consideration.
Translation.
No. 92, Session II.—Te Pukapuka-inoi a Rawiri Mamaru me etahi atu.
E ki ana nga kai-pitihana e 200 eka o to ratou whenua kua riro i te wai o Waitaki, a no reira he iti rawa te whenua hei nohanga mo ratou, heoi ha inoi ratou kia whakaritea e te Kawanatanga, kia hoatu etahi whenua ngaherehere kia ratou hei mahinga kai.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei:—
Me tuku atu tenei pitihana ki te Kawanatanga i runga i te whakaaro a te Komiti, kia pai rawa te hurihuri i tenei mea.
