THE LATE MURDER AT WAIKATO.
LM PORTANT INTELLIGENCE. (I’ER oreville’s telegram company reuter’s agent.) We have received important intelligence, which may be relied upon, respecting the action adopted by the Government with reference to the late murder. The chiefs William Barton and Wi Te Wherro have been sent on to tho King to demand his intentions. They will inform him, on behalf of the Government, that the murderers cannot be allowed to go unpunished ; and to require him to co-operate in an effort to capture them, or to be regarded as conniving .at these outrages. We understand, however, that information has been received which places it beyond a doubt that the King and his adherents sympathise with the murderers, if they have not actually connived at the murder ; yet Manuwhiri (Tamati Ngapora), the King’s Secretary, has written a letter to a Government ollicia’, stating that he never heard of the murder until some time after it was perpetrated, and that he will be steadfast to his words of peace spoken last March.
