lyman Indicted by the Dublin
Grand Jury.-A Sensation Caused
by an Expected Demand from Bri-
tain for Their Extradition.
A Dublin dispatch Of the 3 says: The
grand jury has returned true bills against
Peter lyman (number onc), John Walsh and
L. J. Sheridan, and a bill as accessory to the
murder after the Tact against Fitz Harris.
Walsh and Sheridan are i'll America and Ty-
nan is supposed to TO be there also. 1t is
understood thatthe government will demand
their extradi,ion from America.
The London Times says: If a demand
for the eXtradition of lyman, Walsh and
Sheridan be made. it will be based, not
on the charge OF general conspiracy, which
must be held q mere political aspect, but on
specific criminal accusation.
A Washington dispatch says: No conf
INJUNCTION has been received by the British
legation in this city from the home gover.,-
ment with regard to the extradition ofany
of the lrishmen now in the United States

Great Britain.

The jurisdiction of either, shall seek
an asylum within any of the
countries Of the other, provided that this

hension and commitment for trial, il the
offence had there been committed. The
expense of such apprehension and delivery
shall be borne and betrayed by those who
make the requisition and receive the fugi-

never been modified, except to be extended
