No. 87, 1891, Sess. II.—Petition of Merehira Paerau.

Petitioner complains that an injustice has been done in allotting her only 180 acres of the Rau-katawa Block, at Wangaehu, and prays that inquiry may be made, with a view to readjustment.

I am directed to report as follows: The Committee is of opinion that the land should not have been brought under the provisions of the Equitable Owners Act of 1886, and that the Government should be requested to make inquiries into the case, and if it is considered the petitioner has suffered an injustice, to take such action as will afford speedy relief.
