I, James Grindell, of Wellington, in the Province of Wellington, in the Colony ofInterpreter's declaration. New Zealand, a Licensed Native Interpreter, do solemnly and sincerely declare—

1.

That I am a duly Licensed Native Interpreter under "The Native Lands Act, 1865," and "The Native Lands Act, 1867."

2.

That I was present on the seventh day of July, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-three, when the within-named Huru te Hiaro, an aboriginal Native of New Zealand, duly executed the within-written Deed, and that before he executed the same I faithfully translated and explained the said Deed to him, and he appeared to perfectly understand the purport thereof, and executed the same in my presence and in the presence of William Jones, an adult male European. And I make this solemn declaration conscientiously believing the same to be true, and by virtue of "The Justices of the Peace Act, 1866," and "The Native Lands Act, 1867."
