Reports of the Native Affairs Committee, 1880.

No. 26 of 1880.—Petition of Te Mapu, Takaanewa and 9 Others

No. 26 of 1880.—Petition of Te Mapu, Takaanewa and 9 Others.

Petitioners state that the Government purchased two blocks of land called Te Puke and Otawa No. 1, upon which the petitioners have claims; that, in the memorial of ownership, the name of only one of them (Te Mapu) had been inserted, though all had equal rights; they pray, therefore, that compensation should be given to them, either in money or by a grant of land.

I am directed to report as follows:—

That, in reference to Te Puke Block, the Committee has no recommendation to make, but would call the attention of the Government to the Otawa Block, of which the Crown grant has not yet been issued, with a view to inquiry as to the claims of the petitioners.

25th June, 1880.
