REPORT ON ORDINANCE No.............................of 191 8.
1.
I have examined the accompanying Ordinance intituled
An Ordinance to repeal the Malay States Extradition Ordinance, 1903,
and I am of opinion that the Ordinance is one which is not contrary to the
Governor's Instructions.
2.
In consequence of the Fugitive Offenders (Protected States)
Aat, 1915, 5 and 6 Geo. 5, 0.39, and the Straits Bettlements and
Protected States Fugitive Offenders Order in Council, 1916, the Malay
States Extradition Ordinance, 1903, Ordinance No. 4 of 1903, became
in 1917 unnecessary except as regards the State of Trengganu.
Accordingly the Malay States Extradition Amendment Ordinance, 1917,
Ordinance No. 7 of 1917, was passed to repeal the former Ordinance
