A THRASHING EXPEDITION.
EXTRADITION ORDER REFUSED Sir Chartres Biron, the Bow Street magistrate, when discharging Edward Rimmer, who was before him charged with causing grievous bodily harm, and whose extradition was sought by the French authorities, said the papers pointed to this being a very singular case, but one had to watch these extradition cases very closely.
Mr. Leonard Monies, who appeared' for Rimmer, submitted that the documents did not disclose an extraditable offence. He argued that both the English and the French version of the treaty declared that there must be grievous bodily harm —crave wounds —and that the statement of the doctor was that the wound was superficial. Mr. Moules said he did not think it necessary to go into the extraordinary story of how these men were alleged to have gone to France for the sole purpose of giving a thrashing to a man who was keeper of the cemetery at Abbeville.
