No. 77.—Petition of Timoti Karetai and 9 Others.
Petitioners state that the Europeans to whom they have leased their lands are in the habit of tampering with the boundaries of the land. They pray that the boundaries, as laid down by Mr. McLean in 1867, may not be altered.
I am directed to report as follows: That this petition be referred to the Government for consideration.

No. 77.—Pukapuka-inoi a Timoti Karetai me etahi atu tokoiwa.
E Ki ana nga kai-pitihana e whakarereke ana nga pakeha e reti ana i o ratou whenua i nga rohe o aua whenua. A e inoi ana ratou kia kaua e whakarereketia nga rohe i whakatakotoria o te Makarini i te tau 1867.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei: Me tuku tenei pitihana ki te Kawanatanga kia whiriwhiria e ratou.
