FOR THE TRIAL OF DR.. JAMESON
English Officials Making Pre- eparatlohs
for a Novel Prosecution.

New York. Jan. 27-A dispatch from
London says:
Rt. Hon, Joseph Chamberlain, secre-
tary Of state for the colonial depart
ment, has for the past week had al
most daily conferences with ATTORNEY
General Webster and Solicitor General
Finlay, concerning the legal nature OF
the proceedings that will be taken up
on the arrival Of DR.. Jameson and his
followers, who have been sent from the
Trausyaal under arms. 1t can be stat
ed that the government has about de-
cided to first appoint a commission OF
inquiry for the purpose of determining
whether there is sufficient evidence pro-
durable to make it probable that jury
would return a verdict of guilty. This
commission will conduct its inquiry in
this country, but will either summon
witnesses from South Africa or send
subcommittee to collect evidence on
the spot.
In the event of the commission decld-
ing that the accused should be placed
upon trial, jameson and his associates
will be arraigned in the dock OF the Old
Bailey on an Indictment under the for
eign enlistment act of 1870, section H.
which makes it inSdemeanor to pre-
pare or fit out any naval or military eX-
pedition to proceed against the domin-
ions of a friendly state. The penalty
upon conviction is a fine not exceeding
S25 900 and imprisonment at hard labor
for term not exceeding two years.
The attorney general will be counsel
for the crown, while Jameson's friends
have thus far in advance paid out $25,-
900 as retaining fees to eminent counsel,
including two eX-attorney generals and
one solicitor general. In order to Sc
cure conviction the crown will be COM
PEELED to prove that Jameson prepared
and fitted out a military expedition
against the South African republic. The
defense will probably be that DR.. JAM
eson, having command of bona tde mil
itary forces, had, in the full and suttici-
ent belief that women and children
were in danger of their lives from dis
order i'll friendly state, broken into
that state for the purpose Of preventing
such loss of life.
The trial will be the first Of its kind
in the history of the English courts,
and promises to be memorable.
