Cross-examined by Toro Iwikau.—l was not present at the inquiry in 1912. Ido not know the Kaingas of Pura's elders on Section 5. Waeroa Rcmgihoapu (sworn). —I am one of the petitioners. My objection is that some people got into Reureu without any right. I cannot say just now who these people are. The Ngati-Kahungunu included without right were Hakihaki and Hori. There were others, but I cannot give the names. I made an objection in 1927. They were not here at the time the Government returned the land. My father got his right to the land as a Ngati-Pikiahu. I object to the inclusion of Ngati-Whiti and Ngati-Tama because they drove my people from Otara in 1842. They should have their names struck out of the lists. This is the twentieth time this matter has been before the Court. Matiti Hue (sworn). —I am one of the petitioners. I am speaking with regard to the partition between myself and Hinga of 23d No. 1 and 23d No. 2. The partition was made on the 11th September, 1919. 23d No. 2is in two portions, and I own the divisions on both sides. I ask that my interests be located in the one division. Te Waapu Toni (sworn). —I am interested in Section 26b (partition made 25t.h November, 1914). I object to some of the people who are in this block—Monika Paehua and Huarahi Pakira. They have larger shares than I have. I have never objected before. We lived on the land permanently. To Taite. —I know Hopeha. lam not asking that his name should be struck out of the block, but that his shares should be reduced. Petitioners' case closed. Titi Karanga (sworn). —I do not know what subdivision of the block that I and those 1 represent have been included. We have been included in Reureu under the will of Kuini Pitawa. Ido not know how she got into the block. We are satisfied with the share we have been awarded, and we ask that the land be left as it is. Taite te Tomo has no questions. Toro te Iwikau.—With regard to Tutunui's share which Pura is claiming, I take it she claims her elders worked on this particular portion. I claim she cannot point out any specific part on which her elders have worked and occupied. The section her people worked on has been cut off facing the Makino Road, and as far as I can remember we ourselves worked on the portion awarded us up to 1912 —we have occupied and worked the portion Pura is claiming for overt forty years. Tutunui has a Land Transfer title and has mortgaged the land to the Native Trustee. The majority of the owners of the land desire that there should be no alteration in the present position of this land. Pura's aunt was a very clever woman.
