The convicted anarchists will not be
hanged on the Sd proximo. Judge Scott, of
the Supreme bench, has granted writ of
supersedeas, which operates as a stay Of ex-
ecution pending the hearing of the appeal
by tie full bench. This hearing will take
place at the spring term of the court, to be
held at Ottawa, and the final decision will
hardly be rendered before April or May.
The granting Of the supersedeas was almost
foregone conclusion. 1t is in conformity
with tho almost invariable practice of the
Supreme Judges in capital cases, when u
delay of execution is necessary 10 allow the
court time for hearing an appeal.
