These are all the words considered by me. The majority of his words, what are they to me? This also is another word of mine to you : The money of the selling by Hori Niania is given before the Court to ascertain its position. These are all the words. From Henare Matua.

APPENDIX No. 12. Case No. XXXIV. {Oero Reserve.) Memorandum. Tiie Oero Reserve, a tracing of which is attached, by the terms of the Ilapuku or "Waipukurau deed, dated 4th November, 1851, contained 308 acres, and was marked out at time of sale of that block by Mr. Pelichet—a straight line being the boundary on one side, and the edge of the bush the other boundary. Some years subsequently to Mr. Pelichet's survey, the adjoining land was sold to E. S. Curling, Esq., by the Provincial Government, up to the bush. In the interim, fires had burnt away much of the bush, so that when the reserve came to be surveyed for the purpose of passing the Native Land Court, only 257 acres remained of the original reserve. The remaining 51 acres had been granted to Mr. Curling. The owners of the reserve then applied to get their full acreage, which could not be done, the land having already been made freehold by Mr. Curling's purchasing it. S. Locke.
