No. 216, Session II.—Petition of Te Korowhiti Tuataka (Mrs. E. Douglas).

Petitioner prays for a rehearing of a block of land called Orania, or to have her name inserted in the Crown grant, as decided by Judge Munro in the Native Land Court. Petitioner complains that her name was struck out of the grant because she refused to sell her interest in the block to Mr. Whitaker.

I am directed to report as follows:—

That 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.
