It has subsequently transpired that he took the wheat to Bolls and sold it. receiving the money, -Just before -tins he -had ordoreda suit of clothes from Mr Stevenson, and Whon he had got the cash for the wheat he paid for clothes and wanted delivery of them. Mr J. McGregor, Mr Stevenson's foreman declined to give him dolivery, and kept Tawhita over half an hour, as h,e knew tho policeman was after him with a warrant of distress at the instance of Mrßobb for debt. Mr Robb scoured the town ior Constable Price, who was not to be found anywhere- Tawhita got impatient at the delay, and, wrapping the clothes iip m abundU, he took them away. Soon afterwards Tawhita was seen riding iut of town .at a good cadter, and it seems he has wished "good bye" to his friends, as he intends m future to visit Taupo and other northern nahß; r; v ;' Sixteen. Maoris, men, women, and childreii, went from. \Y,angahui by the I-luia, and sailed again by the Hauroto for Lyttleton, on Sunday, en iroute for the Chatham Island's. - ■ ' * W Waring Taylor W been sprit to Hokitika Goal, where he wi 11 serve his ■ ; B«ntence.- ■ ■ ■''■■- ;V r '•' ■ :•■• ' : : : :^:' : \ij :
