No. 430.—Petition of William Henry Tucker (No. 2).
Petitioner prays that he may be relieved from the litigation which is pending in regard to the Makauri, Taruheru, and Tahoka Blocks.
I have the honour to report that, in the opinion of the Committee, the Court created under "The Poututu Jurisdiction Act, 1889," was meant to decide matters finally without appeal or rehearing, and, as doubts have been raised as to whether the statute carries out that intention, legislation should be passed this session making such intention clear.
