No. 162, Sess. II., 1887.—Petition of Peraniko Parakiri and 22 Others.
Petitioners state that some land was given to them by the Government for their services against the rebels; that the Crown grant was made out in favour of five persons only, who have since leased and sold the land and used the money. They pray for redress.
I am directed to report as follows: That the Committee recommends the petition to the favourable consideration of the Government.

No. 162, Sess. II., 1887.—Pukapuka-inoi a Peraniko Parakiri me etahi atu e 22.
E Ki ana nga kai-pitihana i hoatu tetahi whenua mo ratou e te Kawanatanga hei utu mo a ratou mahi whawhai ki nga hauhau, a tokorima anake nga tangata i whakanrua ki roto i te Karaati i muri iho ka riihitia ka hokona te whenua a kainga ake e ratou nga moni. E inoi ana ratou ki tetahi ora.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei: E whakahau ona te Komiti kia ata whiriwhiria e te Kawanatanga nga take o tenei pitihana.
