No. 120 of 1882.—Petition of Kamariera Heretaunga and 151 Others.

Petitioners pray for the withdrawal of restrictions placed on Maori lands in the Rotorua District by" The Thermal-Springs Act, 1881." They give no reason for their request.

I am directed to report as follows:—

That the petitioners having given no reason, either by evidence or otherwise, for their prayer, the Committee sees no ground for interfering with" The Thermal-Springs Act, 1881."
