the Hon. A. H. Gordon to J. Hume Burnley, February 18, 1865
Mr. Gordon to Mr. Burnley
Fredericton, February 18, 1865.
Sir: I have the honor to inform you that I have, in compliance with the request of the Secretary of State of the United States, issued my warrant authorizing the arrest of Samuel Eugene Lackey, Squire Turner Travis, Charles Moore Swager, George Scott, Bennett H. Young, Caleb McDowall Wallace, James Alexander Doty, Joseph McGinty, Samuel Simpson Gregg, Dudley Moore, Thomas Bronsden Collins, Marcus Spurr, Alexander Pope Bruce, and William H. Hutchinson, under the provisions of the extradition treaty.
I think it right to put you in possession of the opinion with which the solicitor general, by whom the warrant was prepared, has at the same time furnished me.
I have, &c.
ARTHUR H. GORDON.
J. Hume Burnley, Esq., &c., &c., &c.
