All unambiguous end-of-line hyphens have been removed, and the trailing part of a word has been joined to the preceding line. Every effort has been made to preserve the Māori macron using unicode

Printed marginalia have been encoded as notes and been inserted at the line break of the sentence that they relate to. N attributes have been added to divisions of text or texts that have no title. These attributes have been assigned by NZETC staff.

This deed of cession of land written on this day the eleventh of May in the year of Our Lord one thousand eight hundred and forty seven is a true consent by us on behalf of our people and children and of all our descendants after us to the sale, giving up and entire abandonment by us of all the lands within the boundaries hereinafter set forth in this deed of cession of land for the Governor of New Zealand for ever with the streams bays trees and all things appertaining to that land; and on the twenty eighth day of February One thousand eight hundred and forty eight we shall cease occupying and cultivating the place called Turere by the side of the Katikara river and all the places upon which we have worked within the boundaries which are now for the Governor:

These are the boundaries: Commencing at Pirirata thence along the coast to Waioheru thence to Pitoone thence to Tataraimaka thence along the river to Katikara the boundary then follows that river till it reaches a place called Puoteau inland thence to Puketotara thence to Pukeporoporo till it reaches Purakautomo. When it reaches that place it goes right through the bush to the confluence of Kaiwiringaki with Timaru from thence following the Timaru river to Manawatarakihi thence along Wellington Carrington's survey to Motukawa and thence along the survey to Pirirata.

And we entirely agree to the boundaries which have been written in this document that is the boundaries surveyed by Wellington Carrington in the presence of some of us and with our knowledge as shown on the plan on the margin of this document.

These are the lands that are given up by us to the Governor beginning at the boundary formerly laid down to us by Mr. Spain, at the Kenepuru, running to Porirua, Pauatahanui Horokiri, extending as far as Wainui, then the boundary takes a straight course inland to Pouawa, running quite as far as Pawakataka.—There are Three places kept in reserve for us, of the land that is given up by us to the Governor—One of them beginning at Te Arataura, running in a straight line inland, then it crosses, and comes out at the house belonging to Mr. Jackson, running along the Water edge.—The other boundary comes as far as Waitawa, and runs straight along the water side until it reaches Te Arataura.—We have likewise this again in reserve, the boundary of which runs from Jackson's house until it reaches the Creek on the side of the cultivated ground of Te Hiko, then it runs straight along that River running straight along at the back of the ridge, then breaking out again to the water side at Papakohai a little outside of the settlement of Oahu. We have this again in Reserve the Boundary of which begins at Tawitikuri, running along the ridge until it reaches opposite the reeds. It then crosses inland according to the plan laid down in the map reaching the Mountains above the Paripari, then it runs along the ridge to Wainui, and it there descends into the Wainui river. It then runs straight along that river to Pouawa running to Pawakataka, the part outside of this boundary we still retain as ours. If any of our cultivations that are above Taupo should fall within the boundary of the Governor's Land, they are to be returned to us.

The payments for these lands are these Two thousand pounds in money—One thousand to be given us on the first day of April 1847. Five hundred pounds on the first day of April 1848. Five hundred pounds on the first day of April 1849 which being added together makes Two thousand which concludes the arrangement.
