No. 24, 1889. —Petition of Teoti Makitonore and 10 Others (No. 1).
Petitioners pray that a rehearing of the Native Reserves, Wairau and Pukatea, may take place, as they state the land has been wrongly awarded to other tribes. They also state that their elders urged that the land should not be alienated unless a reserve of sixty thousand acres were granted to them.
I am directed to report as follows: That, in the opinion of the Committee, this petition should be referred to the Government for inquiry.

No. 24, 1889. —Pukapuka-inoi a Teoti Makitonore me etahi atu (Nama 1).
E Inoi ana nga kai-pitihana kia whakawakia tuaruaatia nga rahui Maori i Wairau me Pukatea no te mea i whakataua hetia ki etahi atu iwi. E ki ana hoki ratou i tohe o ratou kaumatua kia kaua e hokona taua whenua kia rahuitia kia karaatitia rauo kia ono tekau mano eka ma ratou.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei kua tau te whakaaro o tenei Komiti me tuku tenei pitihana ki te Kawanatanga kia whiriwhiria e ratou.
