Reports of the Native Affairs Committee, 1880.

No. 230 of Session II., 1879.—Petition of Porikapa and 4 Others

No. 230 of Session II., 1879.—Petition of Porikapa and 4 Others.

Petitioners state that land of theirs to the extent of 200 acres, called Papa-a-Hinu, and which was not included in the confiscated blocks, has been wrongfully withheld from them; that there was a sitting of the Native Lands Court in 1866, of which they received no notice; that consequently their rights had been forfeited; that they had been told that they had a right to a rehearing; but that, from that time to this, they had been unable to get any answer but—"By-and-by; by-and-by." They pray for immediate investigation and redress.

I am directed to report as follows:—

That the Committee recommend that the petition be referred to the Government for consideration.

20th August, 1880.
