DECISION IN THE CASE OF THE FCGITIvE
MURDERER ANDERsoN.-The final decision IN
the case OF Anderson, the colored fugitive,
was given at Hamilton, Canada, on the 10Th
inst. The court sustained the decision OF the
Court OF Queens Bench on the question Of
law, and was unanimous in discharging the
prisoner on a technicality in the commi tment.
p Anderson is therefore, set at liberty. Great
joy was manifested, especially among the coll
Ored population. Anderson claimed not
ii fugitive slave, but on charge of muir
der perpetrated in Missouri He slave
but ran away from his master in that State,
was pursued there in its territory by white
man, who shot dead by Anderson. The
latter then escaped TO Canada, where he was
arres ted, and his delivery claimed under the
Ashburton treaty. The Canadian court had
determined to order him to be delivered up to
the American au uthorities, but the anti slavery
men under the belief tina the charge of muir
der against him was only plea 10 get him
back into slavery, applied to Chief Justice
Cockburn, of England, who issued a writ of
habeas corpus directing that Anderson be
brought before him in London. This writ,
however, has been substantially diSalloWed
by the Canadian Court, which issued its own
writ after that from London, and has now
settled the question without allowing the case
10 be transported thither, by dischlrging the
prisoner legal quibble. Thus is muir
derer in the eve of American law set free q
mere technicality i'll British North America
and the Ashburton treaty becomes a farce
Both the Canadian Courts have admitted that
ubstantial justice required the surrender OF
the prisoner: but TO get rid of the ohliga ton OF
the treaty they fall back OH some real or pre-
tended blunder i'll the form OF commitment.
