BIS HONOR’S REMARKS. WELLINGTON, March 1. In passing .sentence, His Honor said the Jury had negatived any intention on the part of Aloghan to kill Gemmel and the jury were probably justified. The suggestion that others engaged with Aloghair could not he taken into consideration, Moghan’s record pointoil to him as being a man of brutal instincts.
