Kindly, no new facts have transpired since the trial, consideration might justify revising the Sentence, of which I have informed you.
And lastly, Chief Justice Adams, to whom I have submitted your letter, expressly states that in awarding the Sentence, he took into view all the mitigating circumstances of the case, which were brought prominently to the notice of the Jury before the Verdict was given.
I think it best to enclose for your Excellency's information a copy of his (Adams') letter.
I have, &c.
(Signed) Hercules S. P. Robinson, Governor and Commander in Chief
(True Copy)
Colonial Secretary
