No. 296, 1889. —Petition of Paora Tuhaere.
Petitioner states that, having been left a piece of land, he, in ignorance, omitted to pay the necessary duty, amounting to 12s. He sold the land for £100, and the sum due to Government, with compound interest, now amounts to £15. Petitioner prays that he may not be compelled to pay more than the original amount of 12s.
I am directed to report as follows: That, in the opinion of the Committee, this petition should be referred to the Government for favourable consideration.

No. 296, 1889. —Pukapuka-inoi a Paora Tuhaere.
E Ki ana te kai-pitihana i waiho iho tetahi pihi whenua e ona huanga ki aia, a i runga i tona pohehe kihai i utua e ia nga tiuti i tae nei ki te tekaumarua hereni. I hokona e ia tana whenua mo te £100, i tae ki te £15 nga tiuti i tika kia utu ki te Kawanatanga me nga hua i runga i ana tiuti. E inoi ana te kai-pitihana kia kaua e neke ake nga moni e utua e ia i nga moni i tonoa i te tuatahi ara kia tekau ma rua hereni.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei: Kua whakaaro tenei Komiti me tuku tenei pitihana ki te Kawanatanga kia whiriwhiria e ratou.
