Reports of the Native Affairs Committee, 1887, No. 2.

No. 137, Sess. II.—Petition of S. D. Taiwhanga

No. 137, Sess. II.—Petition of S. D. Taiwhanga.

Petitioner states that he and others were awarded £227 8s. 9d. compensation for land taken for railway purposes, that they only received £100 instead of the full amount of the award. He prays that the balance, £127 8s. 9d., may be paid to him.

I am directed to report as follows: That the Committee are of opinion that the petitioner has failed in establishing any claim against the Government. The receipt given on the 11th June, 1885, to Mr. Clendon when the last £100 was paid signed by the petitioner and others was a clear discharge of any further liability.

1st December, 1887.
