Receipt for £200. And in consideration of our entire relinquishment of this land to the Governor for the Europeans the Governor agrees to pay us £200 or as our Maori mode of expression hath it £100 twice told this is the payment which Mr. Bell and Captain King promised to give us and we arranged that there should be only one payment for this land and we have now received it all in one lump.

Boundaries. [1,500 acres.] These are the boundaries of that land: Commencing at the sea coast thence running inland to Ngatokorua thence to the main line of road to Otuwetaweta thence to Whakapirikakaka from thence it runs in a southerly direction and straight inland along Carrington's survey to Te Pui-o-te-Rangi thence in a southerly direction to Te Matai thence following the survey inland to Rorongia it goes no further inland than this thence straight on the South of the survey to Te Putatutonga thence along the survey towards the sea to Te Pitau thence to Wharewhiti thence to the main line thence a little to the south thence along the survey to Te Wioa from thence the survey runs towards the North exclusive of the reserve of which the plan appears on this deed and that place was set apart for us the Maoris for ever.

And we now consent on this day to altogether relinquish all our places within these boundaries together with the streams trees and all things thereunto belonging to the Europeans as being land which we have declared shall be the property of the Europeans for ever.

And in token of our consent to all the conditions of this deed we hereunto subscribe our names and make our marks.
