Nos. 40 and 110, Sess. I. — Petition of Taurau Kukupa and Another, and Eru Hira and 8 Others.
Petitioners state that they are interested in a block of land called Waitomotomo, which was investigated by the Land Court in 1882. They were offered 6s. per acre for the land by the Land Purchase Commissioner, which they refused, asking 20s. per acre. They now ask that Government should purchase the land at 20s. per acre or have it subdivided.
I am directed to report as follows:—
That the petitioners be informed that they can get subdivision, and confirmation of all personal interests, by applying to the Native Land Court in the ordinary way.

No. 40 me 110, Sess. I. — Pukapuka-inoi a Taurau Kukupa me Etahi atu, me Eru Hira me etahi atu e 8.
E Ki ana nga kai-pitihana e whai panga ana ratou ki tetahi poraka whenua e karangatia nei ko Waitomotomo i whakawakia e te Kooti Whenua i te tau 1882, i tono te komihana hoko whenua kia hoatu mana mo te 6/- hereni i te eka kihai ratou i pai engari i tono kia 20/- hereni mo te eka. E tono ana ratou inaianei kia hokona e te Kawanatanga mo te 20/- hereni i te eka me wehewehe ranei.
Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei:—
Me ki atu ki nga kai pitihana ka ahei ratou te wehewehe i te whenua me te whakapumau i a ratou panga katoa i runga i te tono ki ta Kooti Whenua Maori i runga i ona huarahi ano.
