Through an apparent error, however, an order has been prepared and duly signed by Judge Trimble, certifying that Perehita Ngairo, Maoa Tunui, Anatipa Tunui, and Atareta Tunui are the persons entitled to succeed to deceased's interest. (See order referred to attached to file.)" Note.—This is a copy of a minute in Book 12, page 245.—James Mackay. t Vide memo, ante re successor to Kataraina te Mamae Tunui. —J. M.

APPENDIX E. Translation of the Petition op Honana Maioha, of Ngatimahuta. To the Speaker and the Honourable Members assembled in the Parliament of the Colony of New Zealand. This is the prayer of your petitioners,* showing, — 1. The petitioners are all Maoris of New Zealand, and reside in the Province of Auckland, at Mangere. 2. This is pointing out the injury inflicted on us by the decision of the Court of Appeal, which sat at Baglan, in the year 1894, on the 15th June, before Judges Yon Stunner and O'Brien. 3. The reason of our objection is, that the Appellate Court did not consider the evidence in the minutes of the (Compensation) Court held at Port Waikato in the year 1866. 4. Also, the evidence given in the [Native Land] Court held at Raglan in the year 1891. Those Courts showed the boundaries, the ancestral rights, the settlements, and the burial-places. 5. The divisions, which are said to be Te Akau No. 1, No. 2, No. 3b, and No. 3a Blocks, as fixed by the Appellate Court of 1894, we strongly object to. 6. Hence your petitioners pray to your illustrious Council to authorise the appointment of another Court to investigate our claims. 7. Because, in addition, one of our great objections to that Appellate Court of 1894 is, that people who went to fight against the Queen received (or were awarded) larger interests than those who remained (loyal) to look after the lands derived from our ancestors. Hence your petitioners pray for relief. God save King Edward the Seventh ! Our names are written hereunder. Honana Maioha, Ngatimahuta. Correct translation.—James Mackay. May, 1904.

* Memo.—This petition is written in the plural, although signed by one person only.
