Extradition of a Chinese subject who takes refuge in Hongkong

from

Chr

criminal charge.

On reference to the magistrate's Report, it will, I think be clear to me, notwithstanding the somewhat vague wording in which it is framed, that it was his opinion that a prima facie case had been made out against the prisoner, and that in view of this and of the fact that all the requirements stated in Mr Marsh's letter 278 of 1883 as necessary for extradition have been complied with in this case, it is not easy to account for the determination of the Executive Council to refuse the request of the Chinese authorities that the accused should be given up to be committed for trial in China.

The Executive Council, however, apparently decided unanimously not to surrender the prisoner on the count of piracy and murder.
