explained that in cases of extradition to the United Kingdom it is customary to send all telegrams from this Department on the account of the Home Office, the amount being subsequently recovered by the latter Department from the Prosecutors.

The suggestion was at the same time made that this practice should be followed in cases of extradition where British Colonies are concerned.

Lord Lansdowne adheres to this proposal and considers that telegrams sent in connection with extradition cases should be regarded as exceptional claims under the arrangement of December 1882. It appears to His Lordship that, whether or not the Governor of Hongkong asked for a reply in the present instance, it was no doubt necessary for the Consul to send a telegraphic answer owing to the nature of the service which he was called upon to perform and that in this respect also the claim comes within the special provisions of the arrangement.

I am,

Sir,

Your most obedient,

humble Servant,

Charles Addison.
