either party, but would serve to meet the contingency that may arise, though very remote.
It seems to me that a formula such as the following may serve the purpos0, namely:
In case of any offences being committed in the area, the offender, aprehenued by the /olice culled in from the Kowloon leaped territory shall be handed to a Chinese court for trial.
It is obviously impossible for the Chinese side
to agree that such offences should be tried by a tribunal of the Kowloon leased territory; because this, as already
pointed out, would ean that Britian Juciauiction over the ares is completo, and that, indirectly, the clall of the Chinese side to jurisdiction is entirely abandoned.
