 Should the writs be vacated the ex- tradition proceedings will be heard on their merits in Quebec.
 MT. Stuart, one of the counsel for the United States government, opened the proceedings this morning in behalf of the prosecution. He was followed by Senator Dandurand who addressed the court in French, both he and MT. Stuart quoting numerous authorities in support of their motion to dismiss the writs.
