No. 382 of 1881.—Petition of Manihera Maaka and 18 Others.

Petitioners state that a block of land called Okurupatua was adjudicated upon by the Native Land Court on the 6th June, 1881, and that, owing to some of their witnesses having been late, their claims had not been considered. An application for rehearing was refused. They pray for redress.

I am directed to report as follows:—

That this petition be referred to the Government for consideration.

[Translation.]
No. 382 of 1881.—Pukapuka-inoi a Manihera Maaka me etahi atu 18.

E Ki ana nga kai-pitihana i whakawakia tetahi whenua ko Okurupatua e te Kooti Whakawa Whenua i te 6 o nga ra o Hune, 1881, a no te mea i tureiti etahi o nga kai-whaaki korero kihai i whakaarohia o ratou kereme. Kaore i whakaaetia te tono kia whakawa tuaruatia taua whenua.

Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei:—

Me tuku atu tenei pitihana kia whakaarohia e te Kawanatanga.
