No. 31 of 1880.—Petition of Te One Tikao and 20 Others.

Petitioners state that there is land at Kaiapoi to which they are entitled, but for which they have not received a title. They complain that others have been attended to whilst they have not.

I am directed to report as follows:—

The grievance of the petitioners can be redressed only by a sitting of the Native Lands Court in the Middle Island; and, as there are many cases of subdivision and succession which it is desirable should be decided, the Committee recommends that the Court hold a session there at an early date.
