No. 756.—Petition of Hairama Haweti and 79 Others.
Petitioners pray for a further rehearing of the Tunapahore Block, Opotiki, as they allege the land has been awarded wrongfully.
page 16
I am directed to report that the petition calls for inquiry, and the Committee has not time to consider the case; they therefore recommend that the whole facts stated in the petition be inquired into by the Government. If the Government finds that the facts are proved, or that it is desirable there should be another investigation, then steps should be taken to grant the petitioner's request. The Committee further recommends in the meantime that the Government should not allow the land to be alienated in any way.

No. 756.—Pitihana a Hairama Haweti me etahi atu e 79.
E inoi ana nga kai-pitihana kia tu he whakawa tuarua mo Tunapahore Poraka, Opotiki, notemea e ki ana ratou i whakataua hetia taua whenua.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei: E tono ana te pitihana kia tu he whakawa uiui a kahore he taima e ahei ai te Komiti ki te whiriwhiri i taua keehi, na reira ko te kupu a te Komiti ma te Kawanatanga e uiui nga putake katoa e whakaaturia ana i roto i te pitihana nei. Mehemea ka kitea e te Kawanatanga e tika ana aua putake he mea tika ranei kia tu ano he whakawa me whakahaere he tikanga whakaae i te inoi a nga kai-pitihana. Ko tetahi o nga kupu a te Komiti kaua e tukua e te Kawanatanga kia tukua te whenua, ahakoa i runga i te tikanga pehea kia mutu ra ano te uiuinga te whakawakanga ranei.
