THE WATOW REFORM 12.
In the matter of lu Kaishing alias lu Cha", and in the matter of the Chinese Eztradition Ordinance No. 7 of 1888. Hon. Mr. W. Reea Device, Attorney-General, instructed by Mr. G. E. Morrell from the Crown Solicitor's office, appeared on behalf of the Crown, and Bir Henry Berkeley, K.C., instructed by Mr. Otto Kong Sing represented the prisoner.
Sir Henry Berkeley stated that there had been filed on behalf of the fugitive from Chius, In Kai-shing, who was detained in Victoria Jail, a notice of appeal from a decision of Mr. Justice Wise refusing an application for kabeos corpus. There had been concurrently fled a substantive notice of motion before the Court In its original jurisdiction to grant habenicorpus. It would be for him to satisfy the Court that the procedure was ra ular, that the Court had the power to catertain the appeal, and also that it had the power alternately to atartsin the motion for habeas corpus, As Couneel intonded to raise questions which he had not raiset on the appeal, most important and far reaching pointe, he would prefer their Lordships to treat the matter as a motion for the granting of a rule for habeas corpus. ́: He could then bring before the Full Court points he had not anbmitted to the individual judges.
The Attorney-General-Perhaps I had better shorten matters by saying I shall contend that no appeal lies in this procedure.
The Puisas Judge Because it is criminal? The Attorney-General-Yes, and furthermore I shall contoud that your Lordships bare no power to graal a rule of discharge.
The Chief Justice--Is not that govened by what took place in the ether hab as corpus case; the ears of seven witnesses I think wo will leave it to the Attorney-General to sub- stantiate his point.
Sir Henry Berkeley-As for the molien for
¦
an allegation as that? What possible means of defones had a man on such a warrant? The danger was apparent at once. Here op June 24th there was a reward out for the prisoner as a robél leader, and Inter he is arrested on a obargof armed robbery because it was knows that the British extradito a rebel This Court ought, by discharging the prisoner, to show its disappro bation of the issuing of anoh warrants by which persons are to be deprived of their liborty. Another objection which he wished to raise was a very serious matter, as it put the Court in a positionic which it would have to decide the Falidity of a Colonial Ordinance, and there was no doubt that the Supreme Court of every Colony had the power to do that. Not only had it the power, bat it was the Court's duty to Propone definitely upon the validity, if the quation of validity was raised. The Colonis] Legislature of Hongkong as such, had no jariadiation beyond the territorial limits of the Colony. Unless auch validity were given it by the Imperial Government, as in the case of the Merchant Shipping Aot, the Colonial Legislature was subordinate to ite obarter, and could only legislate within the limits described by the charter and for the pence, good order, and good government of Hongkong, within the limits of the territory of Hongkong." He sabuitted that the Ordinance which provided for an offence committed beyond the limits of Hongking, and for the deportation of such a person beyond the limits of the Colony, was obviously an excess of the powers of the Legislature.
