In this matter the present Governor General of the Kwong Tung Province has applied to the Governor of Hong Kong through the Consul General in Canton for the surrender of a fugitive named Chung Sau Nam. Two requisitions of the Govern- or General dated 29th. October 1913 and 20th. November 1913 respectively are in the record and are marked Exhibita Fos. 29 & 3 (Translations: Exhibits 30 & 4). On receipt of these requisitions orders dated the 11th. November 1913 and the 2nd. December 1913 were issued by the officer Administering the Government to the Magistrates. They havebeen marked Exhibits 6 & 5. The fugitive was arrested on the 18th. November 1913 on the Magistrate's warrant marked Exhibit 1. The present enquiry follows on that warrant and on the Mag- istrate's order to bring up the fugitive, which is marked Exhibit 2.

His earlier plea of "Autrefois Acquit" was abandoned.
