No. 292 of 1881.—Petition of Taurau Kukupa and 9 Others (No. 1).

Petitioners state that Whangai Mokopuna, at Wairoa, having passed through the Native Land Court, they had, within six months, asked for a rehearing. They pray that this may be granted.

I am directed to report as follows:—

That, from the evidence adduced, the Committee considers there is ground for careful inquiry into this case, and recommends the Government to act accordingly, with a view to bring it to the attention of the Chief Judge of the Native Land Court.

E Ki ana nga kai pitihana i whakawakia a Whangai Mokopuna ki te Kooti Whenua Maori i Wairoa, tonoa ana e ratou i roto i te ono marama kia whakawakia tuaruatia. E inoi ana ratou kia whakaaetia.

Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei:—

I runga i nga mea i whakina ki to ratou aroaroa e whakaaro ana te Komiti he putake ano kei roto me ata whiriwhiri: a e whakaatu atu ana ki te Kawanatanga kia mahia peratia, kia ata whakaarohia ano e te Tumuaki o nga Kai-whakawa o te Kooti whenua Maori.
