The Boundaries of the land are these it commences at the Waimata on the East by Boundaries. Te Toko from thence into the Rahoeka it follows the stream until it nearly reaches the point known as Kauaewiri from thence it proceeds until it reaches the main river (of Near Te Waimate. page 48Waitangi) near to the old plantation grounds belonging to te Arahi's people. The boundaries of the land are more particularly described as shewn on the plan of the survey made at the time of the sale of the land to the Government.
And inasmuch as we have thus freely given our consent to convey or transfer this land to the Queen of England She has in consideration thereof paid to us the sum of Receipt for £35. Thirty five Pounds (£35) sterling which money has been paid into our hands by Mr. Henry Kemp one of the Government officers for the purchase of land in New Zealand. And in token of our assent and of the receipt of the money we have hereunto affixed our names and marks on this the 3rd day of April 1857.
