RUSSELL. FIGHT BETWEEN TWO HAPUS OF THE NGAPUHI TRIBE. SEVEN MEN KILLED AND MANY WOUNDED. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) July 12.
Some weeks ago two hapus of the Ngapuhi tribe had a dispute about a piece of laad in the neighbourhood of Waimate, and had a hostile meeting (I don't know whether I can call it a fight) on the subject, »t which no damage wai done, beyond breaking an old musket. Mr. Williams, R.M., endeavoured t 0 make peace between them, and thought he had sue ceeded, but yesterday and the day before they met again, and were either more in earnest or took better aim, for report says that seven men were killed and several more wounded. I am unable at present to give the names, or any further particulars j but I believe what I have told you may be relied upon as a fact/ I have nothing else to tell you jaat at present.
