No. 469, 1891, Sess. II.—Petition of Wepiha Te Wainohu and Another.
Petitioners allege that certain portions of land were promised to be returned to their people by Sir Donald McLean out of a block of land situated between Mohaka and Waikari, which was purchased in the year 1852 on behalf of the Government.
I am directed to report that the Committee is of opinion that this petition should be referred to the Government, and if the promises were made, as stated therein, steps should be taken to keep faith with the Natives.

No. 469, 1891, Sess. II.—Pukapuka-inoi a Wepiha Te Wainohu me tetahi atu.
E Ki ana nga kai-pitihana i whakaaetia kia whakahokia ki to ratou iwi etahi piihi whenua e Ta Tanara Makarini i roto i tetahi Poraka whenua e takoto ana ki waenganui o Mohaka me Waikari a i hokona i te tau 1852 mo te taha ki te Kawanatanga.
Kua whakataua ahau kia ki penei: E whakaaro ana tenei Komiti me tuku tenei pitihana ki te Kawanatanga a mehemea he tika taua whakaaetanga i kiia nei i roto i te pitihana he mea tika kia whakaponohia nga whakaaetanga ki nga Maori.
