ATTORNEY GENERAL'S CHAMBERS,

Hongkong...27th Ha 1918.

REPORT ON ORDINANCE No.............................of 191 8.

1.

I have examined the accompanying Ordinance intituled

An Ordinance to repeal the Malay States Extradition Ordinance, 1903,

and I am of opinion that the Ordinance is one which is not contrary to the

Governor's Instructions.

2.

In consequence of the Fugitive Offenders (Protected States)

Aat, 1915, 5 and 6 Geo. 5, 0.39, and the Straits Bettlements and

Protected States Fugitive Offenders Order in Council, 1916, the Malay

States Extradition Ordinance, 1903, Ordinance No. 4 of 1903, became

in 1917 unnecessary except as regards the State of Trengganu.

Accordingly the Malay States Extradition Amendment Ordinance, 1917,

Ordinance No. 7 of 1917, was passed to repeal the former Ordinance
