(Enclosure.)
Two hundred pounds also, being part payment for this land, has been received by Wiremu Kingi te Hiakai, and by Piripi Tuapa. One horse remains to be paid to Te Wereta, which then fully completes the payment for this land for ever and ever.
The boundaries of the land which we have thus entirely surrendered are these. It commences at the lower part of the Kuaomahanga Stream, it then crosses the plain until it reaches the source of te Rua Horu from thence to Upokongaruru, from thence to Mapara, from thence to Hiwera, from thence to Papatea, from thence to Motu-Kaitutai from thence to Wakatamahine from thence to Wharetotara, from thence to Pohuowakanako, from thence to Kereru o Marewa, from thence to Wainuioru until it meets again at Kuaomahanga.
We have thus carefully thought the matter over, and bid farewell to this our land, the land of our Forefathers, and whatsoever appertains thereunto, Woods, forests, rivers &c. &c. which we have entirely surrendered to Victoria the Queen of England and to Her Successors for ever.
And in token of our having consented to the arrangements of this Deed we have hereunto signed our names and marks.
And in token of the Queen of England's consenting Mr. McLean the Governor's Commissioner has signed his name.
