Had evidence been adduced before the Magistrate on the charge and the evidence been substantiated, the question of extradition would then have required consideration; but on this point it is unnecessary to discuss, although I should much like to have the Opinion thereon of the Law Offices of the Crown for my future guidance.

I have the honor to be,

My Lord Duke,

(Your Grace's Most obedient,

Humble Servant,

Robert James McNair Stewart,

Governor.
