ST. ALBANs CASE.
MONTREAL, Dec. ls.
At the commencement of the proceed
ings in the case Of the t.s.Albans raiders,
the counsel for the accused denied that the
Court had Jurisdiction, or that the Judge
had any right to set on the investigation.
Justice Cornwall concluded that the case
came under the Imperial Act. The Pro
vincial Act to carry out the AshburtOn
Treaty had not received the special Royal
sanction requisite. The Imperial act
by which the warrant was signed
f,r the arrest of Ethe prisoners,
should hsve been signed by the Royal
Government. Justice Cornwall according
" ordered the release Of the prsoner1
Hr. Delvin implored the court not TO
discharge the prisoners on the remaining
indictments. The Judge had acted on one
warrant, but there were six others not
acted on. He urged that the prisoners
should be held under these. Mr. Delvin
spoke Of the importance Of international
issues, and referred to the fairness Of tie
United States courts toward England and
CansdA. The court decided that if It had
no right to arrest in one case, As he held,
it had no right to detrin them in another
and the prisoners were therefore set at
liberty. On gaining the outside of the
