No. 109.—Petition of Maati te Kani and Another.

Petitioners pray that a portion of the Turiroa Block, which they allege has been wrongfully taken from them, may be returned.

I am directed to report that the Committee is of opinion, if the allegations contained in the petition are correct, and it be found that the petitioners have a grievance, that the Government should be recommended to make an inquiry into the matter.
