ENGLISH PRIvY COUNCIL Rem.
DERs DECISION IN GAYNoR-
GREENE CASE.
TWO CANADIAN OPINIONS REVERSED
ACTION OF QUEBEC JUSTICE IN
RELEASING THE MEN COM
MENTED UPON.

London, Feb. 9.-The privy council
rendered its decision during the morn
Ing in the Greene-Gaynor case In favor
Of the American government.
The council reversed the two judg-
ments of Justice Caron of Quebec,
rendered Aug. 15, 1902, and ordered
the respondents to pay the costs of the
appeal. The councils decision caus-
tically criticises the action of Justice
Caron in releasing Greene and Gaynor
and Caron's extraordinary sinteryen-
tion and adds:
Where prisoner is brought before
competent tribunal charged with an
eXtraditlon offense and is remanded
for the express purpose of affording
the prosecution an opportunity OF
bringing forward evidence whereby
the accusation is to be supported, ii
III such case upon a writ of habeas
corpus, learned judge treats re-
mand warrant as nullity and pro-
ceeds to adjudicate the case as though
the whole evidence was before him it
would paralyze the administration of
justice and render it impossible for
proceedings in e1tradition to be effec-
tive
The decision simply reverses Justice
Caron's judgments and leaves Greene
and Gaynor under remand as before
