This morning, on the opening of the court,
the counsel of Nina fled reasons for new
trial; which the court directed to be immedi-
ately discussed,
These reasons, embracing various objections
to the evidence of High Constable Blaney,
were argued by MIR. Rush for the prisoner;
when the court, after full and attentive hear
ling ofthe counsel, delivered their opinion, and
refused the application for a new trial.
Nina was then, about noon, brought into
court He entered calm and firm, and con-
ferred for few minutes with apparent compo-
sure with his counsel. Being asked why SEN
tence of d' ath should not be passed on him,
his counsel Mr.. M.Dowel. read to the court
letter, written In English by Nina, and adj
dressed to the Judge. This letter earnestly
entreated time to prepare for death. and to sec
his family; and its peculiar and solemn phra-
seology made it most interesting, and not :,
little affecting to many Of the multitude assem-
bled. The presiding Judge, in much agitation
and distress, then passed the sentence of the
law upon the prisoner-that he should be hang
ed by the neck until he w dead, adding the
hope of Gods mercy for him The miserable
man appeared to SITTER terribly at the close Of
