No. 492.—Petition of Manuhiri and Others.

[Petition printed. See Parliamentary Paper, J.-1a.]

Petitioners consider that the petition of Wahanui and others give erroneous boundaries to their lands, and call special attention to paragraphs numbered three and four.

I am directed to report as follows:—

That the Committee cannot enter into the question of tribal title or boundaries raised by this petition, or express an opinion thereon. The House is recommended to take this and other similar petitions into consideration when dealing with Native questions.
