Division Of The Money.
Symonds records that after the documnets had been formally read over in Maori and English, “the purchase money, to the amount of £2,400, was amicably divided among the different families and they all expressed themselves fully satisfied with the whole transaction.”
Another account says that Tuhawaiki took £900, plus £300 for his Taieri and Molyneux friends, Taiaroa and Karetai got £300 each, and the other £600 was divided among the other chiefs.
