No. 238.—Petition of Te Oti Paipeta and Others.

Petitioners pray that the restriction may be removed from a section of land owned by them at Ashburton. They state that they have tried to let the land, but have not been able to find a tenant, and they are still paying rates for the land which is of no use to them.

Report and date same as No. 48.

[Translation.]
No. 238.—Pukapuka-inoi a Te Oti Paipeta me etahi atu.

E inoi ana nga kai-pitihana kia unuhia te here i runga i tetahi Tekiona whenua a ratou i Wakanui Ashburton e ki ana ratou i te Mini ratou i tetahi tangata hei riihi i te whenua. Heoi kore kau e kitea ho tangata hei riihi me te utu tonu ratou i nga reiti mo te whenua kahore nei he painga i riro mai ia ratou.

E rite tonu ana te ripoata mo tenei pitihana me te ra i tuhia ai ki te Nama 48.
