Enclosure 1 in No. 3.
Memorandum.
"When we spoke to Mitchell and White, when we pointed out to them the extent of country belonging to us, they had said to us, 'Have you a large country in your possession?' We then said, 'Our boundary line is at Otahuhu, and runs along the district belonging to Ngatipaoa until it reaches Waitemata.' This is what we said when we pointed out to them the extent of our territory. From thence their hearts avariciously conjectured that the whole was for them, we having only intended to point out the extent of our land.
"The exact spot that was pointed out for them was Karangahape. The boundary lines of that place are these:—The boundary on the outside, that is, looking towards Orua, is Kakamatua; proceed inwards along the coast to Puponga on to Karangahape, till you arrive at Nihotupu.
"Our names, that were attached to that deed, were intended for that portion of land only."
