DUNEDIN.
This Day. The Minister of Justice has telegraphed that it is advisable, under existing circumstances, to enter a nolle prosequi in the murder charges against Butler, reserving the right to prefer fresh indictments at the next sittings of the Supreme Court should fresh evidence be obtained. It is stated, on what appears good authority, that the police have fresh evidence that Butler was seen near the premises of the murdered people on the morning of the murder.
