After an investigation of the case, and consultation with the Attorney General, I found that the alleged offences, though amounting to piracy at common law according to the definitions of our text-books, are clearly not justiciable by the tribunals of this Colony: the French Vice-Consul, Mr. Henry Anthon, has therefore required the detention of the prisoners until he communicates with the French Plenipotentiary at Macao. I have provided myself with the requisite authority, and have committed them in conformity with the Act of Parliament, 8 & 9 Victoria, Cap. 75, and 8 & 9 Victoria, Cap. 120, for giving effect to the late French Treaty.
