I am directed by Secretary Sir Edward Grey to acknow-
Jur ledge the receipt of your letter of the 19th. instant 7815,
forwarding a copy of a despatch from the Governor of Hong-
kong reporting the circumstances in which Fritz Max Ullricht
was surrendered to the German jurisdiction at Shanghai in
1900. It is a matter for regret that this course was
adopted as it enabled the German Government to cite it as
a precedent. Sir E. Grey does not, however, propose to
address the German Ambassador further on the subject unless
His Excellency reverts to the matter. The opinion ex-
pressed by the present Attorney General of Hongkong is in
entire accordance with the view held by this department as
to the proper interpretation of the Anglo-German Extradi-
tion Treaty and with the note addressed to the German
The Under Secretary of State,
Colonial Office.
