The Attorney- Geacral referred in particular to Section 3, which defined a British subject, and Section 50, which said in what way a British subject accused of an offence might be tried before His Majesty's Further than Courts in this Colony. that the Attorney-General had not gone, and he said that he considered that there was no necessity to prove this Treaty, and that the mere fact that this Order-in- Council recited that His Majesty the King had by Treaty jurisdiction within the Empire of China was sufficient to prove that this Court had jurisdic-
