Hawke's Bay Herald. SATURDAY, AUGST 1, 1868.
We can do little more in this issue than advert to the dispiriting character of the news received from PovertyBay and Wairoa, in both of which districts the runaway prisoners lave met and defeated bodies of the local forces. . In the former, Westrupp has sustained a severe defeat, and been obliged to make for the bush, leaving everything behind, even the bodies of the two men killed. In the latter, Kichardson has also been repulsed, and been compelled to retreat upon Wairoa. What the issue of all this will be, no man can tell, but the situation is, to say the least, perplexing. We can only hope that Colonel Whitmore, aided, as he is, by Fraser and his veteran baud, may, now that fine weather has again set in, be more successful in dealing with this dangerous body of fanatics.
