No. 102, Session II.—Petition of Edwin Dean and Others.

Petitioners pray for compensation for time lost in giving evidence in the case of H. R. Russell v. Grindell for libel. They had applied to Mr. Grindell, Hon. J. Sheehan, and Dr. Pollen without success. They ask that their claim may be satisfied.

I am directed to report as follows:—

That the prayer of the petitioners relative to law costs cannot be recommended for favourable consideration.

Translation.
No. 102, Session II.—Pukapuka-inoi a Eruini Tini me etahi atu.

E inoi ana nga kai-pitihana kia utua ratou mo to ratou haerenga mai ki te whaki korero i runga i te whakawa a Henare Rata raua ko Te Karini mo te panui whakakino i roto i tetahi pepa.

Kua tono ratou kia Te Karini, kia Te Hiana, me te Rata Porana kihai i mana ta ratou tono, na e tono ana ratou i naianei ki a whakaritea ratou.

Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei:—

Kaore he kupu a tenei Komiti kia whakaarohia paitia te inoi a nga kai-pitihana kia utua ratou mo te haerenga mai ki te whakawa.
