by an Expected Demand from Bri-
tain for Their Extradition.
A Dublin dispatch OF the Sd says: The
grand jury has returned true bills against
Peter lyman humber one), John Walsh and
P. j. Sheridan, and bill as accessory TO the
murder after the fact against Fitz Harris.
Walsh and Sheridan are III America and Ty-
nan is supposed to 70 be there also. It g
understood that the government will demand
their extradition from America.
The London Times says: III demand
for the extraditinn of lyman, Walsh and
Sheridan be made, it will be based not
on the charge OF general conspiracy, which
must be held mere political aspect, but on
specific criminal accusation.
Washington dispatch says No ccn-
municetion has been received by the British
legation in this city from the home govera-
ment with regard to the extradition of any
of the Irishmen now IN the United States
who have been recently accused of crime in
Great Britain.

follows:
1t is further agreed that her majesty and
the United States, on mutual acquisitions
by them respectively; or by their re-
spectiye ministers or officers author
lied to make the same, -ill deliver up
To justice ali persons who being charged

countries of the other, provided that this
shall only be done on such evidence of
eriminality as, according to the laws of the
place where the fugitive or person SO charg-
ed shall be found. would justify his appre-
hension and commitment for trial, II the
offence had there been committed. The
expense OF such apprehension and delivery
shall be borne and betrayed by those who
make the requisitlon and receive the fugi-
tive.
1t is clear, under this treaty, which has
never been modified, except TO be extended
with reference TO extradition, that our gov
eminent will be obliged to surrender the
men iffound, provided prima facie case is
made against them.
