Mr. Seward to Lord Lyons.
My Lord: Referring to my note of the 20th ultimo, relative to the extradition of John C. Braine, H. A. Parr, John Parker Locke, alias Vernon G. Lock, David Collins, George Robinson, John Wade, and others, fugitives from the justice of the United States, then supposed to have taken refuge in the British province of New Brunswick, or of Nova Scotia, I now have the honor to inform you that it is possible that the fugitives above named, especially John C. Braine, may have taken refuge in Canada. I will consequently thank you to take the necessary measures for their delivery up by the Canadian authorities in pursuance of the 10th article of the treaty of Washington.
I have the honor to be, with high consideration, your lordship’s obedient servant,
Right Hon. Lord Lyons, &c., &c., &c.
