No. 220, Sess. II.—Petition of Eruera Kawhia and 22 Others.
Petitioners complain that the names in the subdivisions in the Heretaunga Block, Coromandel, have been altered altogether, which has caused confusion. They pray that power may be given to the Court to rehear this land and readjust the mistake.
I am directed to report as follows: That this Committee considers from the evidence of Major Ropata that some confusion in the adjustment of the names for the various subdivisions has taken place, that the voluntary arrangement made by the Native owners themselves should be given effect to, and that the Government should take steps to have this carried out.

No. 220, Sees. II.—Pukapuka-inoi a Eruera Kawhia me etahi atu e 22.
E ki ana te kai-pitihana kua whakarereketia nga ingoa i runga i nga wehewehenga o te Heretaunga Poraka i Hauraki me te raruraru ano hoki. E inoi ana ratou kia tukuna tetahi mana ki te Kooti kia whakawakia tuaruatia taua whenua.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei: E whakaaro ana tenei Komiti i runga i nga korero a Meiha Ropata i puta ano he raruraru i runga i tenei mea, a ko te mea tika me whakamana nga whakaaetanga i whakaaetia e nga Maori i waenga i a ratou, a me tahuri te Kawanatanga ki te whakaoti i taua whakaaetanga.
