With respect to the later-departuental
correspondence on the mibjent of the deportation of persons
sentenged by this Court sent to me in 30.24 of the 1st Dewaber
1914 I have the honour to offer the following observations.
The diffimity appears to be that the
only statutory provision for the deportation of prisoners is
that contained in sention 8 of the freign Jurisdiction Ant,
therefore the Governor of Hongkong gan enly deport, in the
strict sense of the term, under powers conferred by prerogativ
Order-in-Council. And a prerogative Order cannot go so far as
this.
I have been and am still of opinion that the actual
journey from Hongkong to the place to which the deportee is
being taken should be under a writ ismed out of this Court in
Bonordance with seation a of the foreign Jurisdiction Ant,
The Right Honourable
Sir Edward Grey. Bart. K.G.
