CORRESPONDENCE.
We do not hold ourselves responsible tor the opinions expressed by our correspondents). :o: TO THE EDITOR. Stu, -Your issue of last evening contains the following paragraph :—“Whilst the evi- “ dence in the murder case was being heard “ to-day, the accused appeared to feel his “ position keenly, and as far as he possibly “ could hid his face from the number of per- “ sons, who, actuated by curiosity, crowded “ ths court. " As this statement is incorrect, and, moreover, calculated to prejudice the public, I should be obliged by your allowing me to state that it was only when his 13 years wife, Haana, who was so cruelly taken away from him, came into court, and when she was giving her evidence, that the prisoner hid nis face. He was then, in truth, much affected ; and I am sure every one in the court must have felt tor him i but during the rest of the proceedings, he held his head erect, and did not seem in the least confused or ashamed, though evidently depressed, and thoroughly aware of the gravity of his situation,—l am, 4c., H. Eyre Kenny.
