No. 171, 1899.—Petition of Te Reneti te Whauwhau and 19 Others.
Petitioners allege that the Katikati Block was sold to the Crown by Maoris who were not the rightful owners, and that they, the real owners, received no remuneration. They now pray for consideration.
I am directed to report that the Committee has no recommendation to make with regard to this petition.
30th July, 1901.
Translation.
No. 171, 1899.—Pitihana a Te Reneti te Whauwhau me etahi atu tekau ma iwa.
E ki ana nga kai-pitihana kaore nga tangata nana i hoko a Katikati Poraka ki te Kawanatanga i tika ki taua wahi, a ko ratou, ko nga tangata tika ki reira, kihai i whiwhi utu mo taua whenua, a e inoi ana kia whakaarohia to ratou mate.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei, kaore kau he kupu a te Komiti mo runga i tenei pitihana.
30 o Hurae, 1901.
