FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT
A painful feeling lias been caused in the city to-night by the news of the death of Mr C. I'i. Bunny, who was leading counsel for the prisoner, Louis Chemis, in the recent murder case. Mr Bunny lias lieen suffering since Saturday last from typhoid fever, and was too ill to appear in Court on Monday when the sentence of death was pronounced against Chemis. The immediate cause of Mr Bunny's death, which took place tins afternoon fit the Umpire Hotel, was failure of the heart, and not from the actual typhoid. Petitions- to the Governor are being largely signed all over Wellington, praying for Cheinis's reprieve on the ground that the evidence was not sufficient to convict the prisoner of Hawkins' murder.
