The annexed instructions to Consuls as to the Relief of British Subjects seem to show that such expenses should be defrayed from Imperial Funds.
The General Rule as to the cost of a Prisoner or Criminal Lunatic who has committed a crime in a Colony and is sent back to this Country is that the Colony should bear both the cost of his passage to and maintenance in this Country: but as the crime in question was committed in Japan, I cannot see that the Colony can be expected to pay except the Imperial Govt.
To such repayment under Colonial Prisoners Removal Act, 1894, Section 11, the consent of the Treasury is necessary.
I say the Act, but send copy in first place to Treasury, so that the grounds given in S.2 (a) of the Act may be considered. I would be glad if arrangements could be made to send Mrs Carew to an English Prison under the Colonial Prisoners Removal Act, 1884.
I am adding that it is presumed that the cost of her removal and maintenance in England will be borne by Imperial Funds 1/7/97. P.C.M.L.
