No. 236 of 1882.—Petition of Neyil Septimus Waleer. Petitioner states that in 1878, acting under instructions from the Native Minister, he paid to members of Rewi's tribe about £300, to enable them to obtain clothing and food during the Native meeting in Waitara ; that he furnished to the Native Office vouchers for these advances, and that he has received only £160 on account. He prays for relief. I am directed to report as follows : — That it is true that Mr. Walker sent a claim for £300, which received qualified approval from Mr. Sheehan, then Native Minister. Mr. Walker was told by the latter that when he sent vouchers, &c, which would be in conformity with the rules of the Audit Department, the money would be paid.

No. 331 of 1882.—Petition of Mrs. E. Douglas, Korowhiti Tuataka, (No. 1). Petitioner states that her name ought to have been in the Crown grant of Okauia Block, by order of the Court, but was not inserted, because she had refused to sell her interest. I am directed to report as follows : — The Committee reported, 25th June, 1880, in reference to a similar petition, "That, the lands referred to having been entirely awarded to her own tribe, Ihe grievances complained of can be settled only between the petitioner and it." On the 30th July, 1880, the Committee reported again upon Okauia Block, referring simply to its previous report. It now appears that her name is in the memorial of ownership for Okauia No. 2; and the Judge thought this was sufficient to satisfy her 111 a I i-yi 9th August, 1881.
