THE EJECTMENT CASE AT PUKEKURA.

On Thursday morning Major Green and party again proceeded to Pukekura, for the purpose of completing the ejectment process agamst the NgatikawhaU natives squatting on the land in the vicinity (Pukekura and Puahoe). The party on this occasion were not accompanied by constabulary. Three whares on the Puahoe block, which had been handed over the previous* day to the lessee, were pulled down. They evidently had not been occupied for some tune. While one was being pulled down an old native named Hori Pnao stood under the entrance, but as the debris seemed to be falling in too close pioximity, he soon removed his vantage ground. Seven additional horses were added to the mob of the previous day, making eightyfour in all. The horses will be sold at Cambridge by Messrs W. J. Hunter and Co., on Wednesday, when the public will doubtless have an oppoitunity of securing a cheap steed. Some of the horses are of a fairly good class. The natives a&sert that a large number of the horses which have been seized do not belong to the natives against whom the lessees are proceeding, but to strange natives, in no wav interested in the dispute- It is thought likely that a slight difference will arise on this head.
