On Saturday, the Chief Justice, Sir William Bees Davies, K.C... delivered judgment in the ease in which Vishe view he took on the other issues. As TJIBODAS,

TUTMANI the View respectfully agreed with expressed by Phillimore L.J., and for the
TJIPANAS reasons which appear fully in the Law Journal Report (notwithstanding the
TJIMANOEK qualified language of Mollish L.J: as to the possibly more general construction to TJITÁROEM be placed on it) that the words "shall at any time bercafter be again imprisoned TJILIWONG er committed for the same offence by any
·personer parsons whatsoever other than by the legal order and process of such Court wherein ho or they shall be bound be recognisance to appear" should be con- strued as relating to persons upon beil or upon their recognisances to appear,
་
Sir Francis Piggott announced, before the decision was delivered, that he was prent to hear the judgment on behalf of Mr. Blade, who had left the Colony..
His Lordship in the course of a very lengthy judgment began by setting forth the case as follows:-
In March, 1912, the plaintiff was prrested and imprisoned under a warrant of a Police Magistrate of Hongkong on a charge of being a fugitive criminal who had been convicted of the crime of abduction in the Philippine Islands, and in the following month the plaintiff was discharged by the Full Court under a writ of habeas corpus
In November, 1912, the plaintiff to the "instigation of defendants was again arrested on the same charge of abduction under the warrant of another Police) Magistrate
The plaintiff claims as damages for this the equivalent in local currency of 2500 under section 6 of the Habers Corpus Act 1679 (31 Charles II., Chap. 2).
The defenciats admit the facts whilst donging liability and rely on the follow ing defences
(3.)-That the provisions of the Habeas Coryne Art are not in force in this Colomy.
(2.)-That the provisions do not apply to extradition proceedings.
As to the applicability of the abrus Corpus Act to extradition proceedings, this point. his Lordship observed, was taken by the Law Officers in Stallmann's ease; viz, that section 6 of the Act does hot apply to extradition proceedings, but it was apparently not dealt with or referred to in the judgments.. had in Kwok-a-Sing's case it was never raised it all when most distinguished Counsel appeared. There was abundant reason, therefore, tinder the circumstances, when the case is decideable upon other clear isses, for this Court not being called upon to give a definite ruling on the point of great importance. In Harsha's case, however decision of a Divisional Court in Carmdat was hold following a decision of a Victoria Cours that the Act does not apply to extradition pro- ceedings.
