Chiefs of Orakei to His Excellency Colonel Wynyard, Deputy-Governor

Chiefs of Orakei to His Excellency Colonel Wynyard, Deputy-Governor.

Auckland.—Disputing the purchase of Taurarua, or Judge's Bay. Orakei, May 29th, 1852.

Friend the Governor,—

Salutation to you. The following are my words to you, that you may be aware that this place about which we now address you—the place on which Mr. Martin and Mr. Kissling reside— page 159that piece was included by mistake; this is a communication to you that you may be aware. It is for you to pay for that place, for ten years have passed away without a payment being made for that place; but if Governor Grey had still been here he would have paid for it.

These are all my worlds.

From Te Hira and Te Keene.

Referred to the Surveyor-General. June 2nd, 1852.—

C.L. Nugent.
