THE PARIHAKA VOLUNTEERS.
(To the Editor of theTSvening Star.)
Sib,—l observe by Hansard that the Parihaka Volunteers sent a deputation to Auckland to wait on Mr Whitakeiy and that they agreed to a compromise, namely to. receive full pay for one month, half pay for another month, and a kit, instead -of the two months' full pay which was claimed. If the officers who composed ! that deputation, Captains Wildman and 1 Schofield, made any such agreement on behalf of the men, it does seem anything but creditable to make a further claim, and burn Mr Bryce's. effigy for refusing it. ' For my part I doubt that either of these, gentlemen was a party to such compromise. However, it is now in their hands either by their silence to acknowledge to the act or give it public denial, and thus let the matter be sifted to the bottom so that the real culprit may be discovered. I see "Mr Whitaker said he had been informed by the Premier since he spoke on the previous occasion that the arrangement was authorised by the men, and understood by them to be binding." Is it any wonder after this that Mr Bryce should have spoken so strongly ?—I am, &c, Thistle.
