No. 55, Sess. II.—Petition of Hone Peti and 6 Others.

Petitioners pray for relief, as certain foreshores at the mouth of the Mangonui River, growing oysters, and belonging to them, have been trespassed upon, and their food taken from them. They do not want oysters, &c., growing on the foreshore of Government lands; they merely wish what they are entitled to to be kept for themselves.

I am directed to report as follows:—

That this Committee recommends the matter to the consideration of the Government, with the request that it may receive immediate attention.
