Reports of the Native Affairs Committee, 1879, No. 2.

No. 355, Session II.—Petition of H. Tarawhiti

No. 355, Session II.—Petition of H. Tarawhiti.

Petitioner states that 50 acres of land, known as Tukupoto, situated at Taupiri, was formerly granted as a school endowment, and that his dead are buried there. The Rev. R. Burrows wrote to the late Mr. McLean asking that the power of the Crown grant may be transferred to petitioner, which was agreed to; but, owing to so much trouble, the carrying-out of this promise has been delayed. He prays that the Crown grant may be issued to him in trust as a school site.

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.

11th December 1879.
