No. 138, Sess. I., 1887.—Petition of James Maxwell.
Petitioner states that a certain block of land near Lucas Creek was purchased by his father from one Captain Stone for £400; that after his father's death the Government took possession of the land and sold it. He prays that inquiry may be made into the matter, and relief afforded him.
I am directed to report as follows: That as a similar petition to this was reported on on the 16th December, 1887, the Committee can only reaffirm that report.
