Ko te moni e tukua mai ana e aua Pākehā hei utu mō ā mātou kai, ko te hanga kākahu pirau e rukea ake nei i te tāone nei, nā rātou pea i hamu, i ketuketu i roto i ngā takahanga waewae o te hanga tini kaumātua Pākehā e noho nei i te tāone, mauria ake nei e rātou hei utu mō ā mātou kai (MM.TKM 30/11/1860:49). / The only money provided by those Pākehā as payment for our produce are the rotten clothes which are rejected in this town; probably what they have scavenged and ferreted out of the rubbish trodden under the feet of the many elderly Pākehā people living in this town, which they bring to us as payment for our produce.
