Monck to Lyons, December 6, 1864
Viscount Monck to Lord Lyons
Quebec, December 6, 1864.
My Lord: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt this day of your despatch of November 30, enclosing a note from the Secretary of State of the United States, demanding the extradition of one Bennet G. Burley, “accused of the crimes of piracy, robbery, and assault with intent to commit murder, within the territory of the United States.”
In reply, I have the honor to state, for the information of Mr. Seward, that so soon as I shall be advised that the proofs required by the treaty of extradition shall have been completed in this case, the necessary warrants shall be issued for the delivery of Burley to the authorities of the United States.
I have, &c,
MONCK.
Lord Lyons.
