Declaration of James
Grindell. I, James Grindell, of
Wellington, in the Province of Wellington, in the Colony of New Zealand, a
Licensed Native Interpreter, do solemnly and sincerely declare—
| 1. | That I am a duly Licensed Native Interpreter under "The Native Lands Act, 1865," and "The Native Lands Act, 1867." |
| 2. | That I was present when the within-named Kooro te One, an aboriginal Native of New Zealand, duly executed the within-written deed, and that before he executed the same I faithfully translated and explained the said deed to him, and he appeared to perfectly understand the purport thereof, and executed the same in my presence and in the presence of Andrew James Whyte, an adult European. |
And I make this solemn declaration conscientiously believing the same to be true, under and by virtue of the provisions of "The Justices of the Peace Act, 1866," and "The Native Lands Act, 1867."
Made and declared at Foxton, this nineteenth day of April, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-three. Before me—
J. Rogan,
A Justice of the Peace for the Colony of New Zealand.
