A writer in the Temuk i Leader says It is stated, on very goo i seniority, that since HaK’a conviction he hu written a letter >o his wife asking her to remain faithful to him, and not to seek for a divorce, as bo expects ti be release I from din two or th «a years He says that his unc'a is bound to get into power very shortly, and that when he d >es he wi l as* him free again. When free he will have no means f subsistence, unless his wife will remain faithful to him, nod a rpport him out of her income O • these gr muds be asks her m t to s.>ek a divorce, but to rema’ > ait'-fa' nird he returns to her. The IVtiiin<ifo Times says that “ There is another story g.dog the rounds, which is also very pecubar It is travelling In comp«ny with the one Just told, and both are supposed to hive esciped over the walls of the gaol. It is said that when th - t»aol auih tides were returning to Mrs Hill s on - r ngs and j ?we lery belonging to Hail, aid for which he had no use in his new abode, she noticed that a certain valuable ring was emspiouous by its absence. She enquired what hid barom-> of this ring, and was t >ld thvt Hall h»d ordered it to be given to Miss* Houston.” We do not know whether or not there is any truth in the story of the letter above referred to but as regards thit of the Jewellery we learn on undoubted authority that it has no foundation In fact.
