requisition for extradition has been made.
After discussing the matter with
the Attorney-General I wrote the minute of which copy is
enclosed in which I set out various alternative arrange-
-ments that might be made to meet the difficulty created
by Sir F. Piggott s pronouncement; and I enclose copy of
the Attorney-General's minute in reply.
Enclosure 3.
Conclosure 4.
The situation has been altered
since I wrote my Despatch under reference and in view of
the Chief Justice's clear and categorical pronouncement,
it would not, as Mr. Rees-Davies points out, be proper to
amend the Chinese Extradition Ordinance in the direction
suggested in that Despatch except on Your Lordship's
express instructions. Pailing such instructions I have
therefore to suggest that the course indicated in (d) of
my minute of 3rd. October, 1910, be adopted.

I have the homour to be,
My Lord,
Your Lordship,s most obedient,
humble servant,
Amaz
Offieer Administering the Govern-
-ment.
