No. 140.—Petition of Maraki Wahanui and 62 Others.
Petitioners pray for further hearing in regard to ownership of Rotoma and Te Tautara Blocks.
I am directed to report that, from the evidence of the petitioner, there seems ground for further inquiry. The Committee therefore recommends that the petition be referred to the Government for that purpose.
