For Kong Ibrahim v the King

Gentlemen,

6th March 1914

In further reference to our letter

of yesterday's date, we have to inform you tat

Judgment in this appeal was delivered this morning.

The Appeal has been dismissed and an advance

proof of their Lordships' Reasons for Judgment is

enclosed herewith for your reference and for transmission

to the Colonial Office. Six further prints of the

Judgment and the original and copy King's Order will be

forwarded to you as soon as we have received them

from the Privy Council Office.

lo doubt the sentence will not be carried

into effect until the original Hing's Order has

reached the Colony, but in the meantime and since

we understand that this is the first case of this

particular kind which has been dealt with under the

provisions of the China and Corea Order in Council of

1904 and the Foreign Jurisdiction Act 1890, we wish

to draw your attention to Section 6, Sub-section 1 and

Sub-clause (d) of the Foreign Jurisdiction act and

Section 64 of the Order in Council, which have reference

to certain formalities to be complied with before the

Bentence is carried out.

Copies of the above mentioned sections are enclosed here-

with for your reference.
