No. 6

I have the honor to inform you that an Indian named "Dick" was tried
and convicted at a late sitting of the Court in this Colony for the
crime of murder.

Having requested the attendance of His Honor the Chief Justice at an
Executive Council in the usual manner it was after full consideration
unanimously resolved to commute the sentence to imprisonment for
life.

I enclose a copy of the letter of the Chief Justice together with a
copy of his notes.
