With the decision of Chief Justice Draper the Anderson case was closed and the fugitive disappears. As a result, however, of the unseemly action of the Brantford magistrate the Canadian law was revised so as to take from the control of ordinary magistrates jurisdiction as regards foreign fugitives from justice, leaving such cases with county judges and police justices. FRED LANDON. THE PUBLIC LIBRARY, LONDON, ONTARIO. FOOTNOTES: [1] On March 27, 1861, certain Howard County citizens petitioned for money advanced by them to prosecute Anderson in the Canadian Courts (_Session Laws_, 1860, p. 534). [2] For Mrs. Haviland's story see her book, "_A Woman's Life Work_," published at Grand Rapids, Mich., in 1881. Anderson's story as told to her is found on pages 197-8.

K. Bruce. So inspiring is the story of Senator Bruce's efforts in the defense of humanity that it ought not to be permitted to lie in obscurity for want of a sympathetic pen. The present venture, therefore, is an attempt, though belated, to recount some of the achievements of this statesman whose public career looms up as a monument to the American Negro's self-confidence, resolution, and persistency.
