The Fenians Excited over the Sem
tence of Colonel Lynch-RctaIIatiOn
Threatened.
The Evening Express says: This morn
ing the ordinary interest in the proceed
ings of the Fenian trials in Canada was in
creased by the news that one of the alleged
officers of Gen. 0'Neil's brigade, Colonel
Lynch, was sentenced to be hung in De-
cember next for an assumed participation
in the invasion of the frontier. The report
soon became the principal topic of cOnver-
sation in the city, and all classes seemed to
| condemn the severity of the sentence as
unnecessary and imprudent. The course of
the Canadians during the late war also
called forth very unfavOrable criticism in
connection with the sentence of Colonel
Lynch. Owing to the news the headguar-
tiers of Col. Roberts presented an unusual
| ly animated scene this afternoon. Two
of the leading Generals were present in the
War Department OF the building, and
soon after their arrival they were
| besieged by Fenians who anxiously
| inquired what would be done 10 prevent
the execution of the death penalty or Sc
cure retribution for the action of the Can
adian Court. In answer to the parties,
one of the Generals replied that if Lynch
was hung he would engage TO capture and
execute twelve Canadians to avenge the
deed. Should the other prisoners share the
same fate, he said, their deaths would be
avenged in the same way. Another Fenian
General, referring to tile sentence, said he
had parolCd forty Canadians whom he had
captured, and provided them with a safe
escort beyond the Fenian lines. II they
hung Lynch, he remarked, it would only
have the effect of eXpediting another in
vasion of Canada. 1t is believed that Pres
ident Roberts will take some action on the
subject.
