No. 218 of 1880.—Petition of Nutano Waihi and 12 Others (No. 2).

Petitioners state that in 1878 they sold Te Pukeroa at Maketu to Government; that 50 acres were to be set apart as a reserve; that this has not been done, and they therefore ask that 200 acres may be now reserved for their use.

I am directed to report as follows:—

That the purchase of this block is not yet completed, but it is intended to set apart 50 acres as agreed upon as soon as the title is perfected. The Committee therefore has no recommendation to make.
