A compendium of official documents relative to native affairs in the South Island, Volume One.

[Translation.]

[Translation.]

We have received from Mr. McLean this day, the 16th of November, in the year of our Lord 1854, the sum of one hundred pounds in money, in part payment for our lands at Onemahanga, at Onehou, at Totaranui, at Watapu, at Tahuahua, at Kaipapa, which is the last of our places.

When the surveys are completed, and the reserves for us all marked off, and when the Europeans shall have seen the land, the final settlement for all our claims is to take place.

And we have signed our names hereto on this day in acknowledgment of the receipt of the above sum of money, and in witness of our full consent to give up the land to the Queen of England for ever.

[Here follow the signatures.]
