I am a district surveyor of the ---- of Wellington. I heard the Weraroa boundaries read Wainui and Mataihuke. I can indicate the Trigonometrical boundary from Weraroa Paparauponga. I have shown the south boundary of Mataihuke (line pointed out). Can you point out the north boundary of that block as described in deed – from Pukahu, commencing at north Wharemauku to Wareroa inland, Toheahuna to Tararua, the boundary of land sold to Ngati Kahungungu to Paparauponga. This land point is not fixed from thence to Wareroa thence (line pointed out).
The crown agent said it is possible that if time were allowed that an arrangement could be made that would satisfy both sides.
Court decided to adjourn the court until 12 o’clock on Monday next the 2nd June in order to give the crown agent an opportunity of coming to an arrangement with Wi Parata and the Ngati Awa tribe.
Court adjourned until 12 noon on Monday June 2nd 1873.
