Copt of Last Agbeement about Gbeat Swamp, Waikato. Memorandum of Arrangements as to Waikato Swamp. The whole of the land comprised within the red lines to be granted according to the terms of the original agreement, except such portions as may be required for a reserve for the Natives at Tauhei. In exchange for their reserve the intended grantees to be granted land of equal value, or a remission of purchase of that value. All the allotments in the First Schedule to be granted to the intended grantees, for which they are charged after the rate of five shillings an acre. All the allotments in the Second Schedule to be granted to the intended grantees, for which they are to be charged at the rate of ten shillings an acre. So much of the land marked AA, and bordered yellow on the plau furnished by the Inspector of Surveys, to be granted to the grantees (subject to the original agreements), as is now the property of the Government, unaffected by any engagements made by the Government with the Natives, and so much of the land affected by those engagements as the Natives are willing to give up for a reasonable money consideration. The grants to be made by the Government as soon as they can complete a plan sufficient for the Crown grant. If there be any of the allotments mentioned in either the First or Second Schedule already disposed of by the Government, such allotments to be omitted; and if there are any adjoining lots not included in those schedules not disposed of by the Government, those allotments to be added to one or other Schedule, as the case may be. The Natives of Tauhei having permission from the Government to occupy the Tauhei Reserves, the same shall be granted to the grantees in lieu of the land in exchange or remission of purchase money, if arrangements can be made to give the Natives other land in exchange, or the said Natives are willing to accept a reasonable money consideration.

Memo.—Subsequently to my letter of the 23rd of July, 1874, Mr. Russell was requested by the Hon. Dr. Pollen to confer with the Inspector of Surveys and myself. "We accordingly met in Mr. Heale's office. It was then finally arranged that two lines of road should be made instead of one. First of these to commence at Hamilton, and run to confiscated boundary on the main line of communication from Waikato to the head of the Thames River navigation. Second to commence near Hukanui, thence via Tauhei settlement to the head of the Piako navigation at Maukoro. This should be borne in mind in drafting the regulations. A third road joining the two first-mentioned has now been laid off by the surveyor. 17th August, 1875. James Mackat.
