THE HALL CASES.
Chkistchoroh, October 23. It is understood that the Crown Pro* seoutor intends to enter a nolle prosequi in Hall’s forgery cases.
At the close of an article on the subject of the recent trial, the [Dunedin Evening Star says :—We cannot conclude our brief remarks on this distressing case without referring to tbe fact of the disinterment of Captain Cain’s body and the rumors prevalent as to the discoveries made. There is an uncomfortable impression abroad that Hail having now been so far disposed of by the sentence of penal servitude for life, the manner of Captain Cain’s death, if it be true that this was natural, is to be bashed up in consideration of the feelings of influential relatives and friends of the person necessarily suspected. Under no circumstances is it justifiable th;t so grave a crime as murder if murder there has been, shonld be allowed to rest univestlgated and unavenged. The Government are bound, in the interest of justice, of public safety and public morality, te bring the crime home to the criminal, irrespective of any consideration whatever.
