No. 1195, 1901. —Petition of Hemirua Paeara and Others.

Petitioners pray for investigation into the right of certain Pakehas to cut timber on the Pakorau (part of Te Whakapaku) Block, and that the land may be vested in the rightful owners.

I am directed to report that the Committee has no recommendation to make with regard to this petition.
