Reports of the Native Affairs Committee, 1885.

No. 279.—Petition of Tini Kerei Taiaroa

No. 279.—Petition of Tini Kerei Taiaroa.

Petitioner states that a block of land at Kaiapoi, containing five hundred acres, was set apart by Mr. Mantell as a reserve for the Moeraki Natives; and that, when the land passed the Native Land Court, her own and her sisters' names were omitted from the certificate, although they were entitled to a share in that land. She prays that some means may be devised whereby she and her sisters may be made shareholders of the land.

I am directed to report as follows: That this petition should be referred to the Government for inquiry.

16th September, 1885.
