THE ExTRADlTroN, CASE AT NEW YORK.

Commissioner NELSON has rendered decision
in the case of lIeilbonn, committing the prisoner,
in the face of Justice Nitchel's opinion and order
for his discharge. His decision refers mainly to the
law of the casc and does not touch the question of
jurisdiction. 1t concludes as follows:
" shall commit the prisoner in pursuance of the
~ aud act Of Congress and will only add, that while
this Government will watch with jealous vigilance to see
that this treaty be perverted to improper purposes
will faithfully execute its provisions by the extradition
of every who here in the naked character
Of fugitive from that justice which this country and
England mutually recognise well every other civil
iled nation"
The prisoner is thus iii the custody of the Mar
shall of the United States who refuses to discharge
him without an order from the Federal magistrates
The counsel for prisoner WILL it is said, bring him
on habeas corpus now before one of the Judges of
the United States Court, to prevent his surrender
till the question Of jurisdiction can be tried, and
also enter suit for penalty against the Marshal
der the State law, who will probably put in de-
murrer, when the case will be carried up on an
appeal.
