Referring to your Despatch No. 32 of the
12th. February, 1917, I have the honour to submit for the
signification of His Majesty's pleasure the following Ordi-
-nance intituled:-
25703
An Ordinance to repeal the North Borneo Extradition
Ordinance, 1896. No. 16 of 1917.
2.
The customary report by the Attorney-
-General is enclosed,
3.
I take this opportunity to correct my
Despatch No. 103 of the 29th. March, 1917, with regard to the
grouping arrangement under Part II of the Fugitive Offenders
Act of 1881. I consider it desirable that Federated Molay
States should be grouped with Hongkong, and the grouping of Straits Settlements and Labuan with Hongkong should continue.
Should you think it desirable I would be disposed to agree to Johore, Kedah and Perlis, Kelantan, Brunei, and North Borneo
being grouped with Hongkong.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient,
humble servant,
Binay
Governor,&c..

WALTER LONG, M.P.,
