No. 431, Sess. II., 1884.—Petition of Hoani Kahu and 7 Others.
Petitioners pray that portions of the reserve at Arowhenua and other reserves may be divided amongst them. They state that they are being robbed by one named Tamati Tarawhata by his taking the revenues. They pray for the enlargement of the law, in order to allow the Middle Island Commissioner to settle their grievances.
I am directed to report as follows: That this petition should be referred to Government for inquiry.

No. 431, Sess. II., 1884.—Pukapuka-inoi a Hoani Kahu me etahi atu.
E inoi ana te kai-pitihana mo tetahi wahi o te Rahui o Arowhenua me etahi atu Rahui kia wehewehea ki waenganui i a ratou. E ki ana ratou e tahaetia ana to ratou oranga e tetahi tangata e Tarawhata. E inoi ana ratou kia whakanuia te Ture kia ahei ai te Komihana o te Waipounamu te whakaoti i tenei raruraru.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei: Ko tenei pitihana me tuku ki te Kawanatanga kia pataia e ratou nga tikanga.
