Agreement concerning land grants in New Plymouth, signed by Hamilton, Arundell and Surrey, F. Carlile, Sterline H. Matrauers, and Ferde Gorges

The original division of the territory was cancelled and a new partition made, dividing it apparently into seven parts. Lord Gorges is the one whose grant is here described.
