They were arrested in three different parties — two on Tuesday, four on "Wednesday, and four yesterday. They made no resistance whatever. The prisoners state that Te Whiti intends sending four men every day to erect the fencing. The prisoners brought into town are not all Tarauaki nativos, two being Waikatos, two Wanganuis, three Ngatiawas, and three Taranakis. The road from New Plymouth to the camp is now open for cart traffic. This is three miles past Parihaka.
