No. 7.
The Chief Commissioner to Mr. Preece.

I have forwarded to you, by the hands of the young chief Pita Taukaka, the sum of £120 for extinguishing the whole of the Native title to the lands from the North entrance of Coromandel Harbour to the Kapanga Creek; a plan of the whole of the lands ceded is furnished herewith, which you will append to the deed of transfer by the Natives to the Crown.

A copy of the form of deed to be used is herewith furnished for your guidance, but you may, of course, alter it to suit circumstances. These documents should be clear, simple, and intelligible, so as to be binding upon the Natives, and to represent in a natural and easy manner the nature of the transaction they are ratifying by signing their names.
