Consular Count in China

From the opinion of

Mr Attorney General Smale

it would

appear

that in

neither the bovernor of Stoughtong un the Superintendent of Trade power of pardon

is vested the

or remission in there

Cares.

The Prisoner under Consular Sentence is thus

placed at a disadvantage I with his fellow-offenders

convicted before the Courts the Colony; and as it does arise at times that these

of

latter

pardon

are

thought deserving of

or remission (with which view Ordinance N1 of 1860

was

specially enacted) so it may happen similarly with prisoners from the Consulen

"Ports.

I think it advisable that

either Her Majesty's Minister on the Governor of the Colony

Colorry Hold be empowered to deal with these cares, and shall be obliged by your Grace's directions

in the matter.
