No. 33.—-Petition of Auama Kaeaka Haututu. Pbtitionee claims that he and Huhana Hetaraka Takapuna are sole owners by descent of a long list of lands in the Auckland Provincial District, and lying north of the Waitemata to the Orewa. He says that, though he has frequently been promised an inquiry into his claim, he has never been able to get it. He asks for inquiry and relief. I am directed to report as follows : — The lands were purchased by Government in 1841. payments took place in 1841,1844, 1851 (two deeds), 1853 (two deeds), and 1854.

The petitioner has no just claim to the lands named in the petition. 11th July, 1883.
