In the case of Foreign Countries the Government of those Countries
I of those countries applie
For
Extradition, and I think the same rule ought to apply to the Colonies, Except perhaps to those which come under part 2 of the Bill.
I would therefore suggest that
the warrant should be countersigned
or other
in the Colony from which it issues by the Colonial secretary or principal Executive officer deputed for the purpose in the Colony or part from which the application is made.
And that in Cases where an
Officer other than the Colonial secretary is deputed for the purpose that the Government giving a deputation
should undertake to be bound by the
acts of the party deputed and should
give notice to all other Governments
of the name or title of office of the party deputed, of which notice when published in the Gazette of the Colony
notified all Courts in that Colony shall be bound to take judicial notice.
A
great advantage also resulting from this course being adopted would be, that the responsibility would be thrown on the official in the Colony endorsing the warrant, of seeing that the necessary proof accompanied the warrant, in order to justify the Magistrate before whom the alleged Offender is brought to commit.
