Haferring to my despatch (Secret) of the 24th ultimo,

and to my telegram of the 7th instant informing Your

Excelle my that the sentence of death passed on Abdul

Jabar had been commuted to ore of penal servitude for

life, I have the honour to inform Your Excellency that the Acting Judge of Eis Kajesty's Supreme Court for Uhim

considers it expedient that the sentence be carried into effect within His Majesty's dominions.

2. Your Excellemy will remember that Article 66 (1)

of the China Urder in Coumil 1904 provides as follows : –

"Where an offender is senterned to imprisoment, "and the Supreme Court thinks it expedient that the sentence be carried into effect within His Majesty's "dominiom, and the offender is accordingly, under Section 7 of the roreign Jurisdiction Act, 1800, sent "for imprisonment to a place in Fis majesty's dominions,

the place shall be either Hongkong, or a place in 'some other part of "in Hajesty's domini nê, the "Goverment whereof consenta that offerders may be

sent thither under this Articls.“

3. I can find no precedent for aprisomer's being

sent to Hongkong to serve a sentence of penal servitude

for life there, and I have the honour to request that I

may be informed whether Your Sxcellency would have any

objection to receiving Abdul Jabar into the colony for

this purpose'.

4. it would seem that the Indian Goverment would

more properly be chargeable than His Majesty's Goverme rit or Your Excellewy's Goverment with the cost of carrying

this sentence into effect,

Sir R. E. Stubbs, K.C.M.G.,
