The track was from Vir- ginia City to San Francisco. Old Lent telegraphed me to drive him ffty-flve miles on the way. strapped myself on the box, and Lent and two fellows jumped into the stage and I laid my whip on. There was six horses, as fine flesh as you ever seen. Them horses were worth $10,000. I just laid the whip on every jump. l never took of the whip during the whole fifty miles. We were going down grade, down the Sierras. The road was pretty rocky, and sometimes didn't skip the chasms, 1000 feet deep, by more than two inches. It makes my flesh crawl now to think of it, but then l was just nerved up to do anything, and we come down that grade a-f1ukin. Taylor was to drive the next fifty miles, and he starts down the road and me after him, and we run each other five miles before we could check up and change passengers. was black and blue all over, but I made fifty miles in four hours, the times on record, or wouldn't tell it. That's the fastest time ever made with stage coach. The California beat by one hour and twenty minutes the whole distance.

A Nice Question of Law.

A singular and very interesting case in the administration of criminal law has just arisen in Ontario, Canada. Two men named Young were convicted o1 murder and sentenced to be hanged in June. Just before the day set for theil execution they overpowered their jailel and escaped. While search was making | for them the court extended the cay fol carrying out the sentence to July IT, | but when 1t came round the prisoners had not been rearrested, and the off | cials neglected to fix another day. Since then the Youngs have been captured, and the time set for their execution hay. ing passed, it is a nice question what tc do with them.
 Some papers in Canada even contend that the murderers cannot legally be hanged, taking evidently the same view of the matter which was taken not long since by a man in Texas, who, finding himself ordained in the warrant to be hanged "between the hours of ten and twelve in the forenoon" set himself tc make three hours dying speech and confession.
 There is not, so far as we are aware. any Canadian precedent, but there are l C0I Uhl144J b COAHAO OA OtAOOO AOOOASASA Al the English books which cover the point. In 1746 the brother of the Ear of Derwentwater, Charles Radcliffe, was convicted of high treason, but escaped to France before the day set for his exc cution. He was subsequently, taken or board French vessel and brought be fore the court of kings bench on writ of habeas corpus, the record of his con viction and attainder being removed into the court by certiorari. The attor uey- general prayed execution, but the prisoner claimed that he was not the person who had been convicted and sen fenced. To try theissue jury was i'm paneled and gave a verdict adverse te Radcliffe, who was subsequently, be headed on the day fixed by the court.
 Twenty years later, in 1765, three murderers under sentence of death es capped from Maidstone jail and were no recaptured till after the day set for thei execution. They denied their identity but it was thoroughly established, ant sentence was ordered to be carried out though the court did not fix any day It is altogether likely that the sam' practice will obtain in Canada, and tha after the brothers Young have beel given hearing, and their identity ha been proven, they will be consigned t. the gallows they came so near escaping
