the Consular Court, consented to return and stand trial for the offence for which he was later convicted and hanged. How- -ever, he was held by the American Authorities at the request of the Hongkong Authorities until he so consented to return.

The extradition treaties between Great Britain and the United States, both by their express terms and by the rules of construction obtaining in such matters, are mutual in their operation, and I have the honour to call the attention of the Colonial Government to the principle that the application of the Colonial Government for the arrest of Adsetts under Consular Jurisdiction in China in the celebrated case referred to was such a recognition of American Consular Jurisdiction in China for purposes of extra- -dition as to imply a readiness to arrest and detain a fugitive from justice from such Consular Jurisdiction; and that the request of the Colonial Government for arrest preli- -minary to extradition from Consular Jurisdiction in China, happily unnecessary in Adsett's case because of his con- -senting to return without extradition, implied a readiness on the part of the Colonial Authorities to grant similar return

of fugitives from justice to the jurisdiction of the United States in China under the Treaty or by courtesy.

I have the honour to request an express-

-ion of the views of the Colonial Government as to this principle.

I have etc.,

(Sd.) George E. Anderson, Consul-General.
