No. 185 of 1882.—Petition of Wiremu Kingi and 109 Others.

Petitioners state that they are the rightful owners of the lands called Ranginui, Rangi-a-Hinehau, and Tiraotane, in the District of Poverty Bay, the titles to which were investigated on the 2nd March, 1882, by Judges Brookfield and Puckey; and that, notwithstanding their claims, the land was adjudged to others. They pray for rehearing.

I am directed to report as follows:—

That the Committee learns that this matter is now under the consideration of the Chief Judge, and has, therefore, no recommendation to make.
