Five Hau-haus, climbing the pallisading from the inside, were picked off. A portion of the Hau-haus left the pah, and occupied patches of bush in the line of retreat taken by the cavalry, but there were no further casualties on our side. *Th\ The Wauganui Volunteer Cavalry have been struck off pay, in conse quence of disobeying Colonel Lrams' <»rders.
