No. 396, Sess. II., 1884.—Petition of Hireaka Tiripa Turei and 2 Others.
Petitioners state that certain lands called Taramarama and Ruakitiri were bought by the Government, and that they have not yet received any money for such.
I am directed to report as follows: That the petitioners were not found to be owners by the Native Land Court. (See decisions of Court published on pages 164-5 Kahiti of 1876, or the memorials of ownership in Crown Lands Office, Hawke's Bay, vol. i., folios 45 and 77.) The Committee has been informed that the petitioners were children and orphans at the time of the sitting of the Court, and that their interests were probably thus overlooked or sacrificed. They have no land anywhere. The Committee recommends that Government should make inquiry into this case and act with such consideration as may seem desirable.

No. 396, Sess. II., 1884.—Pukapuka-inoi a Hireaka Tiripa Turei me etahi atu 2.
E ki ana nga kai-pitihana i hokona etahi whenua e te Kawanatanga e karangatia ana ko Taramarama me Ruakituri, erangi kahore ano tetahi moni i riro i a ratou mo aua whenua.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei: Kua kitea e te Kooti Whenua Maori kahore i whai take nga kai-pitihana. (Tirohia te whakataunga a te kooti i perehitia i runga i nga wharangi 164-5 Kahiti o te tau 1876, me te memoriara whai take i roto i te Tari Whenua Karauna, i Haaki Pei, pukapuka i., wharangi 45 me 77.) Kua rongo te Komiti he tamariki nga kai-pitihana he pani i te wa i tae ai te kooti, a kihai pea i ata tirohia o ratou panga ki te whenua a ngaro noa iho, Kahore o ratou page 8
whenua i ko atu. E tono ana te Komiti i te Kawanatanga kia pataia nga take o tene kehi, me whakahaere hoki i runga i ta ratou i whakaaro ai he tika.
