No. 8, Sess. I.—Petition of Anaru te Kakahi te Urungatu and 42 Others.

Petitioners pray that a piece of land at Waiapu called Te Rahui, which was given for a site for a Magistrate's residence, and never used for that purpose, may be returned to them.

I am directed to report that the Committee are not prepared to interfere in this matter, which should, in their opinion, be mutually arranged between the Government and the Natives.
