No. 189.—Petition of Eru Patuone and 5 Others.

Petitioners state that two blocks of land called Pukenui and Aputeriwa, in the Mongonui District, now claimed by the Government and Europeans, belong to them, as they never sold them. They now pray that those lands may be vested in them for their benefit.

I am directed to report as follows: That the Committee has no recommendation to make.
