No. 147 of 1880.—Petition of Mrs. Douglas (No. 3).

Petitioner asserts her right to lands called Pakepoto and Ohauiti, now occupied by Captain Morris She refers to the report of the Native Affairs Committee made in 1878, and prays that the recom mendation of the Committee be carried out.

I am directed to report as follows:—

That the claims of Mrs. Douglas are against people of her own tribe. They have given a part of the land to her, and purpose that in the adjudication upon other blocks she should have such a share as would compensate for prior loss. The Committee have therefore no recommendation to make.
