Memorandum by Mr. James Mackay, Junr.

The cart, plough, pair of oxen, and two cows within mentioned are the compensation which Riwai asked for the land he gave to the Government near Wanganui, Nelson. His Excellency requested me to write to Mr. McLean, and at the same time inform Riwai that if Mr. McLean was favourable to this claim a present should be made to him.

9th December, 1863.

James Mackay, Junr.
