SIB,
No. 213.
(BARBADOS.)
SIR J. T. INGHAM to HOME OFFICE.
Bow Street Police Court, WITH reference to the letter from the Foreign Office dated the 30th December
6th January 1880. last, I think that the answer to the question therein raised depends upon the 10th and 17th sections of the Extradition Act, 1870.
By the 17th section, the Act when applied by Order in Council shall apply in the same manner as if the British possession were substituted for the United Kingdom or England, as the case may require.
Let the Colony of Barbados be substituted for England in the 10th section, and it then becomes clear that the evidence to be produced must be such as would, according to the law of the Colony, justify a committal for trial if the crime alleged had been committed there.
As the crime of fraud by a bankrupt against bankruptcy law does not exist in the Colony of Barbados a person could not be committed for trial for such an offence.
Consequently the extradition of a person charged with such an offence could not be granted.
The Hon. A. F. O. Liddell,
&c. &c.
