having regard to the strong feeling

d) in

which has been making ground in favour of extending Extradition, (see Report of the Select Committee) and to

the circumstance that this Government is at this moment engaged in preparing an Ordinance for the extradition of fugitives from Macao in pursuance of directions from the Imperial Government, and to the fact that the fugitive in this case is accused of Piracy and Murder, I cannot but think that the Government will be acting wisely and with a just discretion in taking upon itself the responsibility of surrendering him to the Macao Government after having taken reasonable precautions to ascertain that he is properly identified and that there is strong prima facie evidence of his guilt.

(Signed) Julian Pauncefote,

Attorney General.

Hong Kong, 23rd February, 1869.
