No. 93.—Petition of Mataia Te Huaki.
Petitioner states that he is the son of Matene Te Huaki, who was a chief of the Arawa and a Government officer. He gave £42 to Mr. John Young to take care of for him, and afterwards he page 17
could not get the money back from Mr. Young up to his death. Petitioner applied to Mr. Young for the money, but could not get it. He says Mr. Young is now dead. He prays for relief.
I am directed to report as follows: That the transaction was between Young and the petitioner's father as individuals, the former having given the latter a promissory-note for £42. The Committee has no recommendation to make.

No. 93.—Pukapuka-ino ia Mataia te Huaki.
E ki ana te kai-pitihana he tama ia na Matene Te Huaki he rangatira no te Arawa he Apiha hoki no te Kawanatanga i hoatu e ia nga moni e £42 kia Hone Ianga kia tiakina mai e ia mana kihai i whakahokia ki aia nga moni a taea noatia te matenga o Hone Ianga i tona ano ia ki te Ianga mo aua moni kihai i homai e ki ana ia kua mate a te Ianga inaianei a e tono ana ia ki tetahi ora mona.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei: I puta tenei mahi i waenganui ia te Ianga me te matua o te kai-pitihana na tana matua i hoatu te pire mo nga marama e toru mo te £42. Heoi kahore he kupu a te Komiti mo runga i tenei tono.
