In reply to Your Excellency's letter of 8th. June, I am sorry that I did not express myself clearly.

The anomaly to which I referred was that extradi- -tion should be refused for political offences while political
offences of the nature referred to in the Ordinance 15 of 1907
are punished when commited in the Colony. It is an anomaly having in view the fundamental idea that no nation takes regard of the political affairs of its neigbour. In both my sumtings up I supported the principle on which the Ordinance was based, and the suggestion I intended to make was that it might be possible to extend the Extradition Ordinance so as to include similar offences to those made punishable by the Ordinance 15 of 1907. From what I can see the trend of modern opinion is hostile to the old idea, and it seems to me not improbable that, if the subject of Extradition is ever re-considered, a consider- -able change is likely to be made in the matter of political
offences.
