CLAIM BY MAORIS
PETITION TO PARLIAMENT (From Our Resident Reporter.) WELLINGTON, Tuesday. A claim for £I,OOO, with compound interest since 1880, is made by four members of Ngatimanawa hapu of the Te Arawa tribe living at Murupara, Auckland, in a petition presented to Parliament to-day by Sir Apirana Ngata. The petitioners claim that in 1875 the Crown leased a block of land known as Kaingaroa No. 1, and purchased it in 1880, but paid only one year’s rent, leaving four years’ due at £250 a year. Petitioners also ask that the Native Land Court be empowered to issue to them titles to certain reserves along the Rangitaiki River.
