These are the boundaries: the sea is the boundary on the side abutting on the salt water—the river Rangitane on another side—the Waipapa on another side—and the road going to Mangonui is the boundary inland.

I have received One Cow as payment for that piece of land. This is the second Receipt. time I have delivered up that land to Mr. Fairburn, and this is the final payment.

As witness the writing of my hand on the 20th of August in the year of our Lord 1845.
