A criminal has lately escaped punish
ment by an unexpected flaw in the tech
nicalities Of the Treaty of Extraditinn
between Switzerland and Great Britain.
1t appears that a British subject stole some
valuable Swiss bonds end realising what
he could on them, escaped to England,
from whence his extradition as a criminal
was subsequently demanded by the Gov
eminent of Switzerland. The Lord Chief
Justice in deciding upon the case, remark
ed that though there could be no doubt
the treaty existing between the two copa-
tries was intended to apply to all escaped
criminals Of whichever nationality, yet
it distinctly stipulated that no Eng
lishlpan should be delivered up under
the order Of Council by which he was
charged and the prisoner must consequent
~ be discharged from custody. His
Lordship won't on to say that as he was
the chairman of a committee now sitting,
he should endeavour at once to have this
evident misconstructiOn made impossible
In future cases Of the same kind.

the chairman OF q committee now sitting,
he should endeavour at once to have this
evident misconstructton made impossible
in future cases If the same kind.
Accounts from the scene of action in
South Africa, where the Kaffir war still
continues to give annoyance, agree in pro-
nouncing Sir Bartle Frere TO be the right
man in the right place. By prompt aud
energetic measures he has succeeded in so
far queIllng the disturbance that no fur
~Abes donb@is entertained as to the speedy
termination of this little war.
Some attention has been of late drawn
to the practice Of boxing as now
carried on in England. Since the suppress.
sion Of prize fighting by The Government,
the lovers of the "noble art of self-defence"
have resorted to boxing with gloves which
are very unpleasant weapons in the hands
OF an expert, as many an amateur finds out
to his cost. These gloves are now made
so hard and heavy that at a sparring
match for the championship which came
of in London one Of the boxers had his
arm brokon by q blow from his antagonist.
The attention OF the police has been called
to the matter and the noble art' of
boxing by professionals is likely to follow
the lead Of the prize6ghting which it
asplreS to initiate.
Another OF the feeble efforts of an
expiring cause to which Fenianism in
Ireland is now reduced. has Just been
frustrated at Cork on the late visit of the
Duke Of ConnaugEt to that City. A man
named O'Sullivan had arranged with
Others of his fraternity to create a disturb
ance, and on one of them refusing to loin
him, he wrote several threatening letters,
which were laid before the police who
Immediately arrested O'Sullivan and put
an efectual stoppage to his demonstration.
We will not initiate their own intoIer-
aDce and say that Fenians are all riotous
roughs, or that their cause is altogether
unjust and bad (as many pave said before
today but there can be no doubt that
however v%irtuous and patriotic a cause
may be, its promoters should remember
that the Erst requirement of a good citizen
10 to obey the laws of the Government
OF his country, resorting to peuceable
measures only for the changing of that
Government. measures as open to a Fenian
a. TO any other British subject.
