No. 184.—Petition of Te Hauehi Rangiheuea and 5 Others.

Petitioners state that they belong to the Ngatihuri hapu, and are interested in the Waotu South Block, called also Waotu No. 2, adjudicated upon at Cambridge this year, and that the judgment was against them. They pray for an inquiry into the general administration of the Native Land Court.

I am directed to report as follows:—

That this matter is the subject of proceedings in the Supreme Court, and under the circumstances the Committee considers it undesirable to take evidence until those proceedings are settled.
