ENGLISH TREATMENT OF PoLrTIcAL PRISON
ERs.-We cut the following from the Dublin
correspondence of the N. Y. Tribune. Its sig
nifcance is increased by the action OF the Can
adian Courts in relation to the prisoners Mt
present on trial there:
The Irish Journals contain report of very
;ntorost;ng 1aper on the treatment of political
prisoners read BY Mr. John sp;dpod Pope HSsnnessey,
aeis u ite nt Manchester last Tuesday. Mr.. Hen
nessey es argues that in treating the Fenian pris
oners equally in all respects with ordinary con-
v;cts England acts contrary to the spirit of the
aae and the custom of civilized nations. do
not find that he referred to the good example
set by the American nation in this matter; if
he had done so he would have strengthened
his case materially Throughout the whole pc
riod of prolonged and desperate rebellion in
that country, not q single political criminal
was executed. No need to say whether that is
the spirit in which England would deal with
her Irish subjects under like circumstances;
the recent occurrences in Jamaica enable ono
to form an opinion on the subject
