Memorandum.
The casualties among the relbels in the engagement fought this day at To Ranga were — Killed ... 105+ Wounded 21 Prisoners 10 142 Among the former areßawiriTuai a, the principal King chief of Tauranga, and the leader of the rebels at the Gale pa ; Poihipi, of tbo Wliahatohea tribe (Bay of Plenty) ; Henare Taratoa, the writer of the iirst challenge, and much respected by the rebels for his education and ability , Timoti, a man of note in Tauranga ; Kaingnrara, of the Ngatiinatnku Kotoma, a man of great influence in that locality. Among the wounded is To Tera, of the Ngaiterangi, Tauranga; and among the prisoners Ihaia Motuiti, of Te Arawa, Potoma, claiming to bo a chief of rank. It will be seen that a severe blow has been given to the rebel force in Tauranga, nearly the whole of their leaders being killed. And I do not think that there are any men left of sufficient energy or influence to carry on the war among the Ngaiterangi (Taixranga) Tribe. William B. Baker, B.M. Camp Te Papa, Tauranga, June 21, 18G4
