No. 335.—Petition of Peneamene Tanui and Others.

Petitioners, who reside at Whitianga, complain that their fisheries are injured by saw-millers placing booms across the rivers for the purpose of securing kauri logs. They say also that the river banks are thereby injured.

I am directed to report as follows:—

That the attention of Government be called to this petition, with a view to an early inquiry, and, if there be a grievance such as stated, to such remedy as may be practicable.
