WINSLOW.
Before the Bow Street Court
Again.
VERY ANXIOUS TO COME HOME.

LONDON, March 2.-Winslow. the Boston
forger, was brought up at Bow street to-day
and rem4nded till noon tomorrow, The Amer.
lean legation made an applicant to the foregn
office yesterday, but there has been slight de =
lay, and Sir Thomas Henry, chief magistrate
ceived the notice required under the extradition
act, OF this formal application. The delay will
probably be explained by the necessity of an
examination by the foreign Office of the evil
dence submitted by the American legation.
A large number of people were present at
this examination of Winslow than on the
former occasions. Sir Thomas Henry asked
the prisoner if be had solicitor. Winslow
said he did not desire solicitor He did not
wish to contest the case at all. He would be
glad to waive everything and be only too hap
py to 90 home tomorrow. Sir Thomas said,
81 understood Mr.. Wonton would appear for
the defence at the request of the prisoners
friends" Detective Goveham explained that
the prisoners friends at Boston had telegraph
ed for Mr. Wonton to appear in behalf Of the
prisoner, but the latter did not wish to have a
solicitor.
A. P Dearborn, a detective office of Boston,
was sworn. He produced the papers, consist
ing of the indictment found by the grand jury
counts, seven for forgery and seven for utter
ing, to the amount of SAC, 900; bench warrant
issued by the Massachusetts authorities for the
arrest of Wnslow, and the dispositions of vari-
GUS persons of Boston, whose names have been
forged. He also produced a warrant signed by
President Grant, and countersigned by Hamil-
ton Fish, Secretary of State, authorizing him,
(Dearborn,) to convey the prisoner to America
if he was comitted. Mr.. Dearborn, replying to
Col. Cheesbrough, said he knew the prisone r
by sight, He also knew various persons sign
ing the afidavts
The documents were then handed to Wins
low, who declined to ask any questions of
Dearborn. Sir Thomas Henry asked if the
documents bora the seal of the Secretary of
State, and Col. Cheeseborough replied that
they did. They were then read. During the
reading, Winslow sat looking downwards, and
semed much depressed but otherwise evinced
no emotion. He seems to have suffered much
from confinement, being very sallow and gaunt.
When obliged to speak his voice is husky, and
his tone lower than week ago.
Sir Thomas then said that the Indictment
and bench warrant were sufficient ground for
committing him for trial, if grand jury in
London had found similar indictment against
the prisoner charged here, he should commit
him Immediately, bnt in an extradition case it
was necessary to have proof that the govern
ment requiring extradition had made formal
application to the English government.
Though 1 understand, Sir Thomas continued,
to the foreign Office yesterday, I have not re-
ceived any information from any foreign or
home Office, therefore, think best to remand
you until to morrow. The prisoner asked to
be allowed to see his family who were in the
private room OF the court, as they were last
Wednesday week.
Sir Thomas manner to Winslow was as if ex-
planning some ordinary business transactions
The delay at the opening of the court was at
the wish of the American legation, so that
there might be no impression tba. the prisoner
has been unfairly treated or taken at disadvau.
tage in the absence of a solicitor. who was sup
posed to have been retained. The formalities
requiring the remand are as follows:
The American legation request the foreign
Office for extradition, to examine the papers
and forward them to the home Office The lat.
ter notifies the magistrate enabling him to
grant the extradition. Mrs. Winslow seems
less Respondent than on Wednesday. She will
probably go home on the same vessel with her
husband. 1t seems the authorities of Boston
left the question Of time and manner of the
family,s return entirely to Dearborn's discre-
ton; they paying all expenses. The case
seemed to excite but little interest among the
spectators.
