In all the circumstances and having regard to the fact that the murderous attack was a sudden though certainly a severe and persistent one, and that the condemned man's misunderstanding of the land situation must have formed one of the most potent motives for a member of an agricultural community I think that this is a case in which Your Excellency might well exercise the power of clemency.

Copies of the notes of evidence and my Charge to the Jury with the exhibits accompany this Report.

I have the honour to be, Your Excellency's most obedient servant,
