WELLINGTON.
The Strakek. Case. —It affords us pleasure to be able to announce that a communication has been received by Mr. J. Elisha Smith, the Acting Sheriff, to the effect, that the punishment of death inflicted on Charles Strakeb, has been commuted to penal servitude for life. The terms of the commutation show, that had not efforts been made to prevent it, the extreme penalty of the law would have been carried out. — Independent, Feb. 3.
