1 Nelson, This Day. The jury again met to-day, in order tc 1 consider their rider, and they agreed tc add the following to their verdict : — 1 That the delay in removing Davidson tc one of the gaols in the Colony when prisoners sentenced to imprisonment for life are confined, is much to be regretted. [ 2. They consider tha.t a prisoner like Davidson, whose murderous and suicidal [ tendencies were known, should not, undei any circumstances, have been employed , in the gaol, and they would recommend . for the future that the arms be kept ii , a place of greater security than the so- , called armoury at present in use. Thej desire to express their admiration of the tact and bravery displayed by Mr Shallcrass under such trying circumstances.
