No. 148.—Petition of Pererika Ngahuruhuru.
Petitioners state that, at a meeting held between the two tribes called Ngatiwharoa and Ngatitahu, a Committee was formed to carry out matters for the two tribes. (They give the names of the Committee appointed.) They pray that the road from Rotorua to Paeroa, and from thence to Runanga, finishing at Napier, may be proceeded with, as it will improve the value of the Government and Native lands.
I am directed to report as follows: That this petition should be referred to the Government for consideration.
