No. 217 of 1880.—Petition of Nutana Waihi and 12 Others (No. 1).

Petitioners state that in 1878 the Government bought land called Kaikokopu, from petitioners, and agreed to set apart 500 acres as a reserve. This has not been done, and they pray for redress.

I am directed to report as follows:—

That the purchase of this block is not yet completed; but that, as vague promises have been made by the agents, the Committee recommends the case to the favourable consideration of the Government when the title is perfected.
