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.

[Translation.]
No. 189.—Pukapuka-inoi a Eru Patuone me etahi atu tokorima.
E ki ana nga kai-pitihana ko nga poraka whenua e huaina nei ko Pukenui me Aputeriwa i te Takiwa o Mongonui e kiia ana e te Kawanatanga me etahi pakeha ma ratou aua whenua, e mea ana nga kai-pitihana mo ratou ke aua whenua kaore ano hoki ratou kia hoko. E inoi ana ratou inaianei kia tukua atu aua whenua kia ratou hei oranga mo ratou.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei: Kaore he kupu a te Komiti.
