No. 288, 1892.—Petition of Makere Tawhai and 4 Others.
Petitioners allege that the Government has taken possession of a portion of the Tukituki Block, which they claim to be theirs through non-payment by the original purchaser. They pray for restitution or compensation.
I have the honour to report that the Committee are of opinion that this petition should be referred to the Government, with the recommendation that the Resident Magistrate of the district should be appointed to inquire into the case, with a view of setting the matter at rest.
[Translation.]
No. 288, 1892.—Pukapuka inoi a Makere Tawhai me etahi atu tokowha.
E ki ana nga kai-pitihana kua tangohia e te Kawanatanga tetahi wahi o te Tukituki Poraka a e ki ana ratou no ratou taua whenua no te mea kikai i whakaotia te hoko e te kaihoko tuatahi a e inoi ana ratou kia whakahokia taua whenua ki a ratou kia whakaritea ranei tetahi tikanga ki a ratou.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei: E whakaaro ana tenei Komiti me tuku tenei pitihana ki te Kawanatanga me te tono kia uiuia nga tikanga o taua keehi e te Kaiwhakawa Tuturu o taua Takiwa kia mutu atu ai taua raruraru.
