No. 455, Sess. II., 1887.—Petition of Waero Kerei and 46 Others.

Petitioners state that they agreed that Hone Pihama and Tukarangatai should be appointed Trustees for their lands called Te Ngaere, but the Native Land Court put those two persons in as owners; that they received the rents amounting to £200, and petitioners receive nothing. They pray for inquiry and relief.

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