EXTRADITION BATTLE

The Sung Man-cho caso, one of the most keenly fought in the his- tory of Hongkong courts, is recalled by the extradition agreement just concluded between Britain and France. Sung Blanche or Nguyen Ai Quoc was badly wanted by the Saigon authorities as an alleged Communist. It was certain that if ho was deported to Saigon by the Hongkong authorities he would have been sentenced to death. The IIongkong authorities issued ar order for deportation and wore determined to send him to Salgon by a specified ship. Habeas Corpus proceedings were carried to the Privy Council, the decision being in favour of Sung Man-cho. Tho right of deportation was nover questioned, but the right of the HK$3,400 Hongkong Government to choose his destination was successfully chal- 3,600

A DIRECT OUTCOME ?

The new extradition treaty looks to be a direct outcome of the case, It provides that Indian subjects deported from Indo-China shall be sent to Madras or Colombo, and Asiatic deportees to Hongkong or to Singapore. It also provides that natives of Indo-China deported from British Indin shall be sent to Haiphong or Saigon. No mention is made (in the cable) of aby

arrangement for the despatch from Hongkong or Singapore of French subjects of Indo-Chiną to Haiphong or Saigon, but it seems likely that reached, in view of the provision for the reverse process and of the definite inference that the treaty is a direct sequel to the legal battle concerning Sung Man-cho. In- cidentally, Sung Man-cho lo still, in Victoria Gool, though we cannot imagine that the issue of his fate will crop up again.
