No. 694.—Petition of Taiawhio te Tau and 52 Others.
Petitioners dispute the sale of the Whareama Block to the Crown, and pray for restoration.
I am directed to report that the Committee has not had the time at its disposal to fully consider this case, and would recommend that the petition be referred to the Government for further inquiry.
[Translation. ]
No. 694.—Pitihana a Taiawhio te Tau me etahi atu e rima tekau ma rua.
E whakahe ana nga kai-pitihana i te hoko o Whareama Poraka ki te Karauna, a e inoi ana kia whakahokia taua whenua ki a ratou.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei, kaore te Komiti i whai taima ki te tino whiriwhiri i tenei keehi, a ki to ratou whakaaro me tuku atu te pitihana ki te Kawanatanga kia uiuia ano.
