The Case OF WinslOw.

A serious failure of justice seems likely
to occur by reason of the defective char.
acter of our extradition treaty with the
Urited States. A man named Winslow
was about a month ago arrested in this
country on charge of forgery committed
in Boston, Mass, and evidence having
been produced which, in the opinion Of
the magistrate, would have justified the
Committal of the prisoner for trial If the
crime had been committed here, he was
sent to prison on the Sd of March by Sir
Thomas Henry. Application has since
been made by the Government Of the
United States for the surrender Of Wins
low under the extradtion clause of the
Ashburton Treaty; but the English Gov
eminent have, under the advice of the law
officers, refused to give him up to take
his trial in the United States, and accord
ingly, when two months from his CON-
initial have elapsed-that is, month
hence-he will be entitled to his dis
charge, unless the judges hold that the
events which have occurred constitute
"sufficient cause to the contrary" within
the meaning Of the twelfth section of the
ExtraditiOn act. The difficulty has arisen
on the third section of the act, which
provides that no fugitive criminal is to be
surrendered to foreign State unless pro-
vision is made by the law of that State or
by arrangement that the fugitive criminal
shall not, until be has been restored or
had an opportunity of returning to Her
Majesty's dominions, be detained or tried
in that foreign State for any crime COM
mtted prior to his surrender other than
the crime in respect of which he has been
surrendered. This provision--the object
of which, Of course, is to prevent prison
ers being tried for some political offence
after having been surrendered on Grim
inal charge has not been and cannot be
satisfied There is no arrangement to this
effect in the Ashburton Treaty, and from
an actual decision in one of the American
courts our Government are 'fixed with
notice that under American law any pris-
oner being in fact within the jurisdic-
ton of a court, and charged with crime
committed within that jurisdiction, must
be tried for such crime without regard TO
the matter of extradition at all Under
these circumstances our Government ere
advised that they cannot surrender Wins
low without breach Of law and il this
is the case it is certainly time that the ex.
tradition treaty between the two countries
should be altered. Pal Mall London)
