No. 406, 1903.—Petition of Rewi Koruarua and 25 Others.
Petitioners complain that land at Taumutu, on shores of Lake Ellesmere, Canterbury, intended for the Maoris of that district, has gone out of their possession on long lease through misrepresentation by the lessee, and praying for restitution.
I am directed to report that, as no evidence was offered in connection with this petition, the Committee has no recommendation to make.
[Translation.]
No. 406, 1903.—Pitihana a Rewi Koruarua me etahi atu e rua tekau ma rima.
E whakahe ano mo te whenua i Taumutu, i te tahatika o Waihora (Lake Ellesmere), Katapere, i whakaritea nei mo nga Maori o taua Takiwa, kua kore i a ratou i te mea kua riro i te riihi roa i runga i te whakawai a te kai-tango i te riihi, a e inoi ana kia whakahokia taua whenua ki a ratou.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei, i te mea kaore i takoto he korero hei tautoko i tenei pitihana, na reira kaore kau he kupu a te Komiti.
