No. 39, Sess. I.—Petition of Petera te Pukuatua and 47 Others.
Petitioners apply for a rehearing of a block of land called Rotomahana Parekarangi, on the ground that it has been wrongly awarded.
I am directed to report as follows:—
page 4That this Committee is of opinion that it is not within their province to order or recommend the rehearing of cases in the Native Land Court, and that the Petition be therefore referred to the Government for their consideration.
