8. Your Majesty's Potitioners are aware that thisereoptionalitatus was sucorded to the steam- e of the French Company under opror of the Convention of Paris of 1856, and, thus the Ger Rose Company would not well be denied a like position. But Your Petitionste cravo leave humbly to represent, that it is at least open to grava doubt whether the Paris Convention can apply, or was ever intended to apply to Your Majesty's distant Colonial Fossensions; where, from the nataro of things, thora can be no reciprocity and the whole circumstances, gangraphical and political, differ from those of Europe.
9-In the Memorandum of Ubjects and Bessons attached to the Ordinance which fest introduced this messure, (Ordiosanè III-of 1881), it is stated that inconvenience has arisen relating to the arrest of uritrinafs on board the French steamers at Hongkong, and, as far as Your Majesty's Petitioner are aware, this is the Role occasion for ertanding the principle of the Paris Convention to Colonial Waters. If this be so, Your Petitioners humbly and respectfally schuit, that questions relating to the custody and transport through British Colonial Ports of criminals and parsons under arrest in board foreign stoamers, and the application to such of Write of Habeas Corpus would be more properly dealt with under tresty or by special legislation, than by continning the present system, which unduly favours twu foreign nations and may at any time give rise to international difficulties more serious than those it is designed to avort.
And Your Patitioners, therefore, humbly pray, That Your Majesty will be grasionsly pleased to direct the repeal of Orilionaces VII. and XIV. of 1867, passed by the Legislative Council.
