Reports of the Native Affairs Committee, 1899.

No. 246, 1898.—Petition of Te Hata Hokopaura and 34 Others

No. 246, 1898.—Petition of Te Hata Hokopaura and 34 Others.

Petitioners pray for rehearing in connection with Maraehako Block.

I am directed to report that, as this petition refers to a case similar to those contained in the petitions of Haka Tautahi and 11 others, Tamati Ru and others, and Erueti Tiketikerangi and 19 others, on which the Committee reported during the session of 1898 (see I.–3, 1898, pages 17 and 20, Appendix to Journals), it should be referred to the Government with a similar recommendation—viz., "That the Chief Judge of the Native Land Court be asked to exercise his powers under section 43 of 'The Native Land Laws Amendment Act, 1895,' in order to determine whether the last judgment is in accordance with what may be settled upon as Maori custom and law."

4th August, 1899.
