No. 28 of 1882.—Petition of Heke.
Petitioner prays for a return of lands in the Kaikoura District (Middle Island), but gives no reason for her request.
I am directed to report as follows:—
That, in 1877, the Committee reported as follows:" The Committee has not been able to obtain any specific evidence in support of the petitioner's claim, and have therefore no opinion to report." The Committee has no further recommendation to make.

No. 28 of 1882.—Pukapuka-inoi a Heke.
E Inoi ana te kai-pitihana kia whakahokia ki a ia etahi whenua i Kaikoura (Waipounamu) engari kaore e ki mai ana i nga take i tono ai ia.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei:—
I te tau 1877 i penei te kupu a te Komiti:" Kaore i taea e te Komiti tetahi mohiotanga tuturu mo runga i te tono a te kai-inoi no reira i kore ai he whakaaro ma ratou." Heoi kaore he kupu ke atu a te Komiti.
