Report on Petition of Roera Hukiki and 2 Others. The petitioners allege that on the 21st of March, 1874, a judgment was delivered by the Native Land Court at Otaki, with which they were dissatisfied, and that they made an application for a rehearing within the period prescribed by law ; but that, owing to some error in the official records or misconception on the part of officials of the Government, a rehearing has not been ordered. The petitioners state that they have been and are law-abiding subjects, that they earnestly desire a rehearing of their case, that they are willing to bear all the necessary expenses of such rehearing, and that, after an opportunity has been afforded them of proving their case, they will accept and abide by the decision of the Court. I am directed to report as follows: —That the main question raised by the petitioners is, whether or not application for a rehearing of their claim to the block of land mentioned in the petition was duly made within the time limited by law. The petitioners have not had an opportunity of giving evidence as to the making of their application in proper time as alleged by them, while at the same time the evidence taken by the Committee does not clearly make out that no such application was made. mnmri The Committee would recommend that the Government should cause inquiry to be made into this point during the recess, when, if it be ascertained that such application was duly made, it will be in the power of the Government to comply with the request for a rehearing if they deem it desirable to do so.

Kua whakahaua ahau kia ki penei atu kite Whare : —Ko te tino mea c kimihia i roto i tenei pukapuka-inoi he titiro mehemea i puta he tono ma ratou, i roto i te wa c whakaritea ana c te ture, kia whakawakia tuaruatia ta ratou tono kite whenua i whakahuatia i roto i te pukapuka inoi.
