1E CONDENINED PRISONERS.—In our
hst paper we had the satisfaction of announcing that
Nowell, Roberts, and Jones had been respited for further
consideration of their cases, in comequence of evidence in
their, favour having been laid before the Secretary of State.
\V e have now reason to believe that the evidence to which
we refer has had the desired area, and that the Govern-
ment authorities have determined on a commutation o%t be
awful sentence passed upon the prisoners at our Assizes,
although no official communication to that effect has at
present been received by the Governor of the Gaol.—
