committed a

crime, which if

an offence

committed here would be against a Bankruptcy Ordinance (Dec. 17th, par. 3). This is unsatisfactory. State of affairs would, I submit, no longer exist, if by a change in the law, the right of inter-colonial Extradition were extended; as

in

suggested

in the Schedule to the Draft Bill forwarded to the Secretary of State by "M. Austin", to "Crimes against the law of Bankruptcy or Insolvency"

or to such offences by some other comprehensive words of general description.

In conclusion I have to thank Your Excellency for forwarding Lord Cormarren's Despatch for my perusal, and I respectfully request that Your Excellency in his reply will be good enough to explain the whole matter to the Secretary of State and

may

relieve me

from the imputation that now rests upon me of having

caused

an unfortunate failure of Justice in this Colony.
