No. 85, Sess.11.—Petition Tamiana te Huirau.
Petitioner states that Sections Nos. 45, 46, and 51 at Kawatiri, Nelson were left by his mother to her daughter, who when dying, left it to him by will in the presence of a Maori clergyman; and that up to a certain date, for many years, they received rents, when they suddenly stopped, and it was found that Mr. Alexander Mackay had awarded these lands to an outsider, who had no claim on them. He prays for relief.
I am directed to report as follows:—
That the Committee, after hearing the evidence, is of opinion that the petitioner has no claim whatever.

No. 85, Sess. II.—Pukapuka-inoi a Tamihana te Huirau.
E Ki ana te kai-pitihana ko nga Tekiona 45, 46, me 51 i Kawatiri i Whakatu, i waiho e tona whaea ki tana tamahine, ano ka tata te mate ka wirangia kia aia i te aroaro o te tahi minita Maori, a i te tango tonu hoki ia i nga utu o te reti i roto i nga tau maha tae a noatia tetahi wa heoi mutu ohorere ana te putanga o nga moni o te reti, a ka kitea kua whakataua e Arekehanara Make aua whenua ki tetahi tangata kihai nei i whai panga ki aua whenua. E inoi ana ia kia whakaputaina tetahi ora.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei:—
I runga i te rongonga o te Komiti ki nga korero, e whakaaro ana ratou kahore he take a te kai-pitihana.
