Auckland, This day. Hursthouse and his companions when rescued by Te Kooti were very weak,' and their arms and legs were bruised and Swollen by the brutal way they had been fastened and locked up for 48 hours without' food. Makui, the chief obstructionist, says he will give no farther trouble, and the unanimous cry of the natives assembled at Te Kumi is " the road must be opened." : A telegram from Mr G. T. Wilkinson, Native Agent, to Mr Bryce, states that Wahnki is now in a state of the utmost dejection and fear, and promises to give Up the goods and give up prophesying it he is let go. Te'Wetere is anxious , that he be sent to Alexandra to be punished by law. Te Kooti takes little part in this discussion, and is qnite content to let Wahanui and the JNgatiniania- | pofco decide. , 3 . i The bullock chain and padlock with | which he was fastened has been < given to Mr Hursthouse as a souvenir. The whole of the property taken from them has been restored.
