diction issue really overshadowed all others, concerning as it did the relations between this Colony and Indo-China. Situated sufficiently close to be regarded as a near neighbour, Indo-China has in the past sent us more than one knotty problem to unravel, and for the sake of a clarification of the extradition law it is well that the position be clearly defined for the guidance of the law officers of the Crown. This is all the more essential in view of the possibility that fresh cases as between this Colony and Indo-China may arise in the future. In basing its décision purely on the facts, and not on the legal points at issue, the Full Court has given no indication of its views on the more important, if somewhat embarrassing, issue. It would, however, as we suggest, be to the mutual advantage of Hong- kong and Indo-China íf the position were no longer left in the doubt which now surrounds it.
