No. 465, Sess. II.—Petition of Matene Tauwhare.
Petitioner complains that a portion of his land at Petone has been taken for a road. That in the Crown grant for that land a clause was wrongfully inserted giving a road one chain wide, by which petitioner is debarred from gaining redress. He prays that he may receive compensation or land in another place.
I am directed to report as follows: That, in the opinion of this Committee, this petition should be referred to the Government for careful inquiry.
