Boundaries. Ngaruroro is the name of this place. The boundary commences at
Kuripapanga thence running to Kaimoku thence to Ture a te Kanawa thence running
along the ridge and descending to the plain and on to Taruarau thence running
along the plain to Rangitikei thence running to Aputa Wharerangi thence to Kai
manawa here it ends.
We have entirely given up this land inherited by us from our forefathers under the shining sun of this day as a lasting possession to Victoria the Queen of England and to the Kings or Queens who may succeed her for ever. When the boundaries have been surveyed and the nature of the land has been examined then there will be a final settlement of the money that is due to us for that land.
