Tururu was the only absentee native who consented to sell lands at Ngamotu. Poharama states he received a share of the goods that were paid for the land at Ngamotu; but he was not aware then of the quantity that the Europeans were to hold. He further states that he and Parata were absent at Kawhia; and he does not intend that he should give up all his land to R. Barret.
