Armed Con- | Sergeant George Hill. | On the 10th April, 1869, Con-
stabulary, No. 1 | stable (now Sergeant) George
Division. | Hill, of No. 1 Division, Armed
| Constabulary, accompanied
| the Wairoa Natives who,
| under Ihaka Whanga, pro-
| ceeded to relieve Mohaka,
| then being attacked by Te
| Kooti. A party volunteered
| to run the gauntlet of the
| enemy's fire, and to dash into
| the Jerusalem Pa, then sorely
| pressed. This was a dangerous
| service, and it was in a great
| measure due to the example
| set by Constable Hill, who led
| that party, that it was succes-
| fully carried out. During the
| subsequent portion of the
| siege, Constable Hill animated
| the defenders by his exertions
| and contributed greatly to the
| repulse of Te Kooti, and his
| conduct is spoken of with
| admiration by the Natives
| themselves.
