cognizable in a court in some part of His Majesty's dominion,

and, so far as the state of Victoria was concerned, an offence that should be tried and determined there. That is pertinent to the present extradition crime, which carmot be

heard, tried, or determined in Canada or Ontario but which

may be tried in the proper court of the United States upon and after his surrender. I think that Ex p. Besset, (1844)

6 Q.B. 481, 51 E.C.L. 481, is also an authority that the

statute of Charles is not applicable to extraterritorial

crimes the perpetrators of which have taken refuge in

England or her colonies, though the common-law writ of habeas

corpus may run in their favor.

"Indeed, the remedy by means of this process is given at a

certain stage expressly in section 12 of the Extradition Act

of Canada, R.S.C. 1886, c. 142, though it may doubtless run at any stage of the proceedings where illegal custody exists. "The opinion held by the Victoria judge was expressed in an

early case on the statute in Rex V. Mackintosh, (1720) 1 Stra. 308, in which a person comitted for treason done in Scotland was refused the benefit of the Habeas Corpus Act because the court could not try a crime committed in that country, and so

also bail was refused."

This case seems to be so nearly on all fours with the Sotto case

as to be decisive.

In conclusion, I would say that the volumes containing the decisions above quoted (not the cases cited in the decisions) are in my possession here and are each and all at the disposal of the Colonial Government for the purposes of this case.

Respectfully submitted, (Sd.) THOMAS CARY WELCH,

(Dated Hongkong, December 26,1912)

Assistant Executive Secretary for the

Philippine Islands.
