No. 228.—Petition of John Peter Oakes (No. 2).
Petitioner alleges that about the year 1840 his late father purchased a block of land from the Natives containing 12,000 acres, and situated in the Coromandel District, Auckland, known as the Waiharakeke land, and that up to the time of his death he was unable to complete his title. Petitioner now prays that a Crown grant may be issued, or compensation granted in lieu thereof.
I am directed to report that this Committee is of opinion the matter should be dealt with by the Waste Lands Committee.
