The Patea Mail has the following plea* $ant little story to tell about Tuhi's trial : " Among the multitude present in Court to-dsy might be seen sis Wellington hangmen each willing to tender his services in so laudible a service. These six some time a^o unknown to each other, tendered for the hanging of a criminal at Picton. It would be a subject for Hogarth to view the ghastly smile which played on each of their countenances when certain points of evidence were powerfully sheeted home to the culprit."
