W. C. WALKER.

Report under "The Native Schools Sites Act, 1880."

His Excellency the Governor having been pleased, in pur-
suance of the above-recited Act, to appoint me to ascertain
the title of certain Natives to land known as Te Whaiti, in
the Urewera District, proposed to be appropriated by them
as a school site for that district, I beg respectfully to
report:—

1. That I caused a notice in the Maori language to be
   inserted in the Rotorua Chronicle that I would hold an
   inquiry at Te Whaiti on Tuesday, the 12th November, 1895.
   I also sent copies of the notice to all the principal Natives in
   the Te Whaiti District.

2. On Wednesday, the 13th day of November, 1895, the
   previous day's meeting being postponed, I held an inquiry
   at the place before mentioned, at which representatives of
   Ngatiwhare, Ngatimanawa, Patuheuheu, and Tuhoé Natives
   were present, the plan of the land proposed to be given for
   a school site was produced, and the provisions of the Act
   were explained by me.

3. The Natives assembled unanimously agreed that the
   land shown on the plan produced as aforesaid was a portion
   of Te Whaiti Block, and that such portion belonged to
   Wharepapa Whatanui, Pihapa Tamehana, Te Tuhi Pihopa,
   Hamiore Potakurua, and Hiwawa, and the said Wharepapa
