THE LAWRENCE FORGERY SUITS.
In the case OF the United States against Charles L.
Lawrence extradited from England in April 1875 pur-
suant the Exraditon act OF 1870 the accusation
OF forgery and utterng a certain bond and affidavit
within the jurisdiction Of the United States relating
entries OF merchandise into this port wherein the
defendant has set up that he be tried here for
any other offence crimes other than those for which
he exradited the United States District Attorney
George Bliss has filed replication before Judge Bene
dict, the United States Circuit Court, holding that
the act Of 1870 expressly keeps in force certain prior
acts OF Parliament solely applicable to persons de-
manded for extradon under the treaty OF 1872 which
do not In any way limit the crimes for which person
extradted for crime embraced in said treaty may be
tried after such exradition and that fact and by the
practice OF both parties to said treaty there has been
no limitation to the number and character Of offences
for which person SO extradited has been or may be
tried.

LawrenceS English birth, but claims he is natural
lied American Citizen and sets forth the particulars OF
his extradition for forgery Ho denies that the order
of the President OF the Attorney General were in
