No. 187, Session II., 1879.—Petition of Tangatake Hapuku and Others.
Petitioners state that Renata Kawepo and Paora Ropiha are their guardians, under the will of their late father, Te Hapuku. That they are sorely oppressed and distressed through the improper way their interests are attended to. They pray that the control of the will may be left with the petitioners and that they may have the management of their own affairs.
I am directed to report as follows:—
That the case is one that can be dealt with by a Court of law, and therefore the Committee cannot recommend the House to take any special action.
