with that application H.E. the Governor issued his Warrant (dated the 8th or 9th of August 1887) directed to the Supt. of the Gaol and the Capt. Supt. of Police for the prisoner's detection.
This Warrant was based upon accusation wholly distinct from that then out judice.
Acting upon this Warrant the prisoner was detained by the Police yesterday notwithstanding the order of discharge of yesterday. In this we contend the Police acted correctly, the order of discharge applied could apply only to the Young case.
This morning our Mr Caldwell attended at the Magistracy when the prisoner Mitchell-Innes was brought before the Magistrate.
In the course of the proceedings, which were of a cursory preliminary nature, His Worship expressed the opinion that to proceed with any new charges would be useless, and led Mr Caldwell to understand that he formed that opinion upon the fact that the Yung case had disclosed a prima facie case, unshaken by cross-examination and uncontradicted by evidence, and had not resulted in the rendition of the prisoner.
Under the circumstances and considering that the prosecution in cases of Rendition can only be carried on at the expense of much time, trouble, and the incurrence of heavy legal charges, we shall be glad to be informed whether we are to understand that, under any circumstances and notwithstanding any other mode out, the prisoner Ching Sam will not be surrendered to the Chinese Government. It is needless to say that much waste of time and money may be avoided by an outspoken answer to this inquiry.
