[Translation.]

This paper or deed of sale, written on this day, on the sixth of the days of March, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and fifty-six, is a paper of our full and true transfer of all our lands, from Powharo; Motupipi, thence to Takaka and to Rangiata, that is to say, all the places that were formerly sold by Te Aupouri for the sum of one hundred and ninety pounds (£190).

As we did not receive any part of that money formerly paid, we continued to oppose the sale of that land. But now we completely give up all these lands on this day, on which the sun now shines, to Victoria, the Queen of England, for the sum of sixty pounds (£60) in money; together with the land which has been granted to us. We will not allow any persons to interrupt or disturb the Europeans who may settle upon this land, which is now given; up to them for ever and ever.
