Near the turning I saw Waitura Wi coming, and when I turned my plough prisoner came up and saluted me, • Teuakoe, I have something to to you.' I said, 'Say on.' Waitura saidj 'Stop your ploughing.' I said to him, • Give the reason.' He replied, " The only reason is you're to stop ploughing.' I said, 'I will not stop.' When I said to him that I would not stop I saw him take his hand with a pistol from his pocket. When I saw it I ran behind the horses. While I was running away he fired the pistol, and the bullet struck mo in the back. I ran to the other side of the fence, and he followed inc. Waitura Wi was on horseback when he was firing at me. When I got a little distance away from the fence Waitura went away to fire at my men 1 had left behind. My men ran behind the horses. When Waitura Wi got on one side of the horses the men ran to the other side of the fence, but the weapon was not then fired. We ran in this direction (Donnelly's), and Waitura made for the gate. When I got nearly on to the road some of my friends cried out, ' There is Waitura. He has got oq to the road. He's galloping on with the revolver in his hand.' I then ran for a fence that was close to me. When I got to the other side of the fence Wai tura came up. He dismounted and ran after me. I was not able to run on account of the effect the first shot had on me. I then called out to him to stop. He said, 'No,' and ran up alongside of me, and fired again at me with the small revolver (produced). The bullet struck me in my left side. He fired again, but missed me. I sprang at him, and we closed. I threw him down, and I succeeded in getting the revolver from him. After seme time my wife came up. I told her to come quickly and hold Waitura. Another woman then came forward, Miratna. • At this time I had got the revolver from Waitura. I thought of turning round aud shooting him, but then I thought it would be better to leave it to the law.
