No. 172 of 1881.—Petition of Wiremu Hohepa and Another.

Petitioners complain that a European had unfairly taken their land, called Manganui, in the Maungatawhiri Block, and they ask for its return. Petitioners further say that for five years they have been applying unsuccessfully to the Court to subdivide Hungahungatoroa. They pray for a subdivision of this land and for Crown grants.

I am directed to report as follows:—

That the subject-matters of this petition were settled in the Native Land Court, and, after due consideration, rehearing refused. The Committee has no recommendation to make.
