THE KINDER MURDER.
A telegexm which was received on Tuesday, at Nelson, announced the arrival of Mrs. Kinder, her father, and brother at Hokitika, as passengers by the schooner ' Susannah Sooth.' A large crowd of people assembled on the wharf to see her land. It is supposed they will open a hotel at Hokitika. By the arrival at Nelson of the s.s. ' Auckland,' from Sydney, we learn that Bertrand is still unhung, as an application for a new trialiiaa not yet been adjudicated on. His "execution has been deferred until the 26th instant. He asserts his innocence, and is quite cheerful and composed. He has lately employed his time in painting. His latest picture was a figure of a sister of charity. A petition to the Government of New South Wales has been forwarded from Bertrand's uncle, residing in Melbourne, stating that the father of the murderer died in the Eoyal Free Hospital, Gray's Inn Road, London, upwards of twenty years ago, of tremor on the brain, and that an uncle of his also died mad. Bertrand was ordered for execution on the 19th instant. Dunn, the bushranger, also under sentence of death, was to be executed at Darlinghurst the same day. Bertrand has sent in a lengthy written statement to the Government, the nature of which has not yet transpired.
