ba quo rriage the result of his wounds,
The defense which was a conglomeration of self
defence and provocation failed to carry any conviction,
and the verdict was in my opinion the only proper ons en
the evidence.
It is a use of an unprmeditated savage attack
by a man whose self control and gone for ne sufficient
reason. There was howover no previous 111 feeling between
murderer and victim, the killing was the result of a sudden
wild impulso, and in all the eireumatanees, and in view of
the sondemned man's youth, I think this is a case in which
Your Excellency might well grant a reprieve and substitute
a sentence of imprisonment for life,

His Excellency,
The Goremno!
I have the honour to be,
