In 1888, Takawheta, Niheta, and others asked for a rehearing in the Native Land Court of all of those blocks, and the petitions went on. But it's the submission of Raureti Mokonuiārangi and 17 others of Ngāti Rangitihi to the Premier in 1899 which I want to focus on. That submission was about all of those injustices and more. In April 1899, Raureti petitioned the Minister of Native Affairs and lands on behalf of those in Ngāti Rangitihi who had not sold Ruawahia. They repeated their request for the succession of the Crown's purchase of Ruawahia, and Ngāti Rangitihi noted that the block was under the provisions of the thermal springs Act 1881, meaning that the owners could not enter into any alienation of their land, except with the Crown, and that some owners had sold their interests to the Crown.
