CAVALRY PAY.
TO THE EDITOR. Sik,— From your valuable paper I observe that King Tawhiao claims Te Awamlitu amongst other townships as his exclusive property. Can you inform me whether there is any likelihood of the royal demand being acceded to, and if so will His Majesty take over the Te Awamutu Cavalry ? We arc a mercenary lot (all Volunteers are, .according to Mr Kryce), and we should just like to know whether, if we joined the king's army his kingship would treat us less scurvily than has the honorable the Native Minister. — I am, &c., Troopkr.
