His Worship:The police quoted one authority and I looked up the papers. I have them here. And then there is the Attorney General's opinion that the Magis trato has no power.
The Consal-I did not bring it before, your. Worship. I only applied to the police as in other cases where there is a fugitive from justice when what I have to do is to apply to the police.
His WorshipThat in eo, The police in all probability told you that happened before and that to detain a man they had to have a Magistrate's order.he difficulty is that I have not the power to make that order.
The Consul:-I did not know this morning that the ship Helena was proceeding to Swatow. have heard just now that the ship was to go to Swatow with the deserter on board. Well, your Worship, if I had known that before certainly I should not have come here," I would have let him go to Swatow and telegraphed to the consul. In Swatow we have consular jurisdiction and the consul, can put him in gaol for six months. It is useless to lose my time, but I thought the Helena was going back to French-India and there I cannot get him. In Swatow I can get him every day. I have been Consul-Jadge for years and there are no formalities, It is the real. pleasure of being a Consul, you can be judge as well (Laughter). His Worship-If I had the order, but I have no power.
