No. 97.—Petition of Nepihana Tuiri.

Petitioner states that he has been oppressed in mind for years, because of his land Waitoa having been taken by Moananui and sold to the Government without any money having been received by him (the petitioner). He prays that he may receive money or land by way of relief.

I am directed to report that the Committee regret that the time at their disposal has not been sufficient to enable them to make such inquiries as would justify them in reporting sin opinion on the subject-matter of this petition.
