THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, APRIL 19, 1912.

ARTICLE 5.

Extradition shall not be granted if exemption from prosecution or punishment has been acquired by lapse of time, according to the laws of the State applied to."

　　　　　　Neither shall it be granted in the case of persons convicted by default, or otherwise, unless the sentence inflicted be at least one year's imprisonment.

ARTICLE 6.

The person claimed shall not be surrendered if the crime in respect of which extradi- tion is applied for be deemed by the party to whom application is made to be a political offence, or connected with such an offence, or if the person claimed proves that the application for extradition has in fact been made with a view to try or to punish him for an offence of this character.

ARTICLE 7.

A person whose surrender has been granted shall in no case be detained or tried in the State to which the surrender has been made for any other crime, or on account of

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　any other matters than those for which the extraditi ball have taken place.

This stipulation does not apply to crimes committed after the extradition.

The person who has been claimed, and whose extradition shall have been granted, shall not be tried or punished for any political offence committed prior to his extradition, nor for any matter connected with such an offence, nor for any crimes or offences not provided for in the present Treaty.

ARTICLE 8.

The requisition shall be made through the Diplomatic Agents of the High Contracting Parties respectively.

　　　　　　　The requisition for the extradition of an accused person must be accompanied by a warrant of arrest issued by the competent judicial authority setting forth clearly the nature of the crime or offence with which the person claimed is charged. The said warrant shall also be accompanied by such evidence as, according to the laws of the place where the accused is found, would justify his arrest if the crime had been committed there.

　　　　　　If the requisition relates to a person already convicted, it must be accompanied by a copy of the judgment passed on the convicted person by the competent Court of the State that makes the requisition for extradition.

　　　　　　　A sentence passed in contumaciam is not to be deemed a conviètion, but a person so sentenced may be dealt with as an accused person.

　　　　　　　In the event of any doubt arising as to whether the crime or offence, in respect of which the prosecution has been instituted, comes within the stipulations of the present Treaty, the Government applied to shall be at liberty to require all such further information as it may consider necessary or of assistance in order to form an opinion, after which it shall decide what action shall be taken on the demand for extradition.

The requisitioning Government, in furnishing such further information to the Govern- ment applied to, shall, at the same time, place at the disposal of the latter all such documents as may be necessary or useful in enabling it to form an opinion.

ARTICLE 9.

　　　　　　In cases of urgency provisional arrest may be effected upon notice being given, by post or telegraph, through the diplomatic channel that one of the documents enumerated in Article 8 has been issued, provided, however, that such notice shall always be given to the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of the State applied to.

Provisional arrest shall be effected in the manner and in accordance with the rules laid down by the laws of the State applied to. It shall not be maintained if, within a period of one month from the date on which it has been effected, the State applied to has not been furnished with one of the documents specified in Article 8 of the present Treaty.

ARTICLE 10.

　　　　　　All papers and documents issued by the authorities of the Contracting States which may be produced in virtue of Articles 8 and 13 of the present Treaty must be accompanied by an authenticated translation in the French language.

THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, APRIL 19, 1912.

ARTICLE 11.

201

The extradition shall take place only if the evidence be found sufficient, according to the laws of the State applied to, either to justify the committal of the prisoner for trial, in case the crime had been committed in the territory of the same State, or if extradition is claimed in respect of an offence of which the fugitive has been already convicted, to prove that the prisoner is the person convicted, and that the crime of which he has been convicted is one in respect of which extradition could, at the time of such conviction, have been granted by the State applied to.

ARTICLE 12.

　　　Extradition shall be granted in accordance with the rules laid down by the law of the State applied to.

ARTICLE 13.

Warrants, depositions, and affirmations, issued or taken in the dominions of one of the High Contracting Parties, and copies of such documents as well as certificates or judicial. documents stating the fact of a conviction shall be admitted as valid evidence in the pro- ceedings taken in the dominions of the other party, if they bear the signature or are accom- panied by the certificate of a Judge, Magistrate, or officer of the State in which they have been issued or taken, provided that such warrants, depositions, affirmations, copies, certificates, or judicial documents are authenticated, either by the oath of some witness, or by being sealed with the seal of the Minister of Justice, or some other Minister of State.

ARTICLE 14.

If the accused or sentenced person be not a subject of one of the Contracting Parties, the Government to whom application for extradition is made shall be at liberty to take such action in respect of the application, as it may think fit, and to surrender the person claimed to be tried in the State in which the crime or offence has been committed.

Nevertheless, the Government of His Majesty the King of the Hellenes reserves to itself the option of surrendering the person claimed to the State to which he belongs, instead of surrendering him to the State in which the crime or offence has been committed.

ARTICLE 15.

If a fugitive criminal who has been arrested has not been surrendered and conveyed away within three months after his arrest, or within three months after the decision of the Court upon the return to a writ of habeas corpus in the United Kingdom, he shall be set at liberty.

ARTICLE 16.

　　　When extradition is granted all articles connected with the crime or offence, or which may serve as proofs of the crime, which are found in the possession of the person claimed at the time of his arrest, or which may be afterwards discovered, shall, if the competent author- ity of the State applied to so direct, be seized and restored to the requisitioning State.

Such restoration shall be carried out, even if extradition be not carried out owing to the escape or death of the person claimed.

　　　The rights, however, which third persons, not involved in the prosecution, may have acquired over the said articles are reserved, and the latter shall, should the case arise, be restored to them, free of charge, at the termination of the proceedings.

ARTICLE 17.

　　　All expenses arising out of an application for extradition, also the costs of the arrests, maintenance, and transport of the person whose extradition shall have been granted, as well as of the dispatch and forwarding of the articles which, by the provisions of Article 16, are to be returned or restored, shall be borne by the requisitioning State and by the State applied to within the limits of their respective territories.

　　　The cost of transport or other expenses outside the territory of the State applied to shall be borne by the demanding State.

ARTICLE 18.

　　　The stipulations of the present Treaty shall be applicable to the Colonies and foreign possessions of His Britannic Majesty.

And whereas, by various Proclamations issued from time to time, such exportation and carriage coastwise were prohibited, and remain prohibited until the 27th day of May, 1912, and it is expedient to continue such prohibition:

Now, therefore, I, CLAUD SEVERN, Officer Administering the Government and Com- mander-in-Chief of the Colony of Hongkong and its Dependencies and Vice-Admiral of the same, by and with the advice of the Executive Council of this Colony, do, by this Proclamation, prohibit for a further period of one yearm and including the 28th day of May, 1912, either to be exported from the Colony of Hongkong, or to be carried coastwise within the said Colony, Arms, Ammunition, Gunpowder, Military and Naval Stores, Sulphur and Saltpetre, the last two being articles which I judge capable of being con- verted into or made useful in increasing the quantity of Military or Navalores, or any or either of such Arms, Ammunition, Gunpowder, Stores, Goods or Articles respectively, unless this Proclamation shall, in the meantime, be revoked, or unless permission shall have been obtained under Section 3 of the Ordinance above mentioned.

1st November, 1912.

FINDING.

CLAUD SEVERN,

Colonial Secretary.

　　　　　　　We find that the British S.S. Dacre Castle, Official No. 124,119 of Liverpool, of which Edward Arthur Gough the number of whose certificate of competency is 034489, London, was master, left Yokohama on a voyage to Boston and New York, vid ports, and arrived at Keelung, Formosa, on the 14th September, 1912, with a general cargo, of about 5,300 tons, this being about one half her total capacity. That she was there moored head and stern between two buoys in the inner harbour, and starboard anchor down.

On the 15th September a typhoon warning was hoisted, and the barometer gave warn- ing of approaching bad weather. On that evening additional wires to the buoys were supplied. The following day at about 4 p.m. the stern wires parted. The ship, which had swung round in the vicinity of two Japanese steamers, was given a sheer to port, and the port anchor let go. She then began to drag, and as soon as sufficient steam was available-- at 5 p.m.--she got under way and proceeded to outer harbour, where both anchors were let go, in line to windard. Twice these anchors dragged, and ship was taken to windward and re-anchored. The second time she was struck by a very heavy squall and carried bodily onto the rocks, where she shortly afterwards broke in two.

　　　　　　　We are of opinion that all possible steps were taken to prevent disaster, and that no blame attaches to any one concerned.

　　　　　　　We wish to place on record our sense of the good seamanship displayed by the master in getting his ship out of the very narrow waters of the inner harbour under the then existing circumstances.

　　　　　　　Given under our hands at Victoria, in the Colony Hongkong, this 1st day of Novem- ber, 1912.

And We hereby further warn all Our loving Subjects, and all persons whatsoever entitled to Our Protection, that if any of them shall presume, in contempt of this Our Royal Proclamation, to do any acts in derogation of their Duty as Subjects of a Neutral Power in a War between other Powers, or in violation or contravention of the Law of Nations in that behalf, all Persons so offending will rightfully incur and be justly liable to the Penalties de- nounced by such Law.

And We do hereby give Notice that all Our Subjects and Persons entitled to Our Protection who may misconduct themselves in the Premises will do so at their peril, and of their own wrong; and that they will in no wise obtain any Protection from Us against such Penalties as aforesaid.

Given at Our Court at Buckingham Palace, this twenty-first day of October, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twelve, and in the third year of Our Reign.

　　　　　　　The Right Honourable Sir Edward Grey to the Lord Commissioners of the Ad- miralty*

My Lords,

Foreign Office,

October 18, 1912.

　　　　　　　His Majesty being fully determined to observe the duties of neutrality during the exist- ing state of war between Turkey and Bulgaria; Turkey and Greeee; Turkey and Mon- tenegro; and Turkey and Servia; being, moreover, resolved to prevent, as far as possible, the use of His Majesty's harbours, ports, and coasts, and the waters within His Majesty's territorial jurisdiction, in aid of the warlike purposes of either belligerent, has commanded me to communicate to your Lordships, for your guidance, the following Rules, which are to be treated and enforced as His Majesty's orders and directions:--

　　　　　　　Rule 1. During the continuance of the present state of war, all ships of war of either belligerent are prohibited from making use of any port or roadstead in the United Kingdom, the Isle of Man, or the Channel Islands, or in any of His Majesty's Colonies or foreign possessions or dependencies, or of any waters subject to the territorial jurisdiction of the British Crown, as a station or place of resort for any warlike purpose, or for the purpose of obtaining any facilities for warlike equipment; and no ship of war of either belligerent shall hereafter be permitted to leave any such port, roadstead, or waters from which any vessel of the other belligerent (whether the same shall be a ship of war or a merchant ship) shall have previously departed until after the expiration of at least twenty-four hours from the departure of such last-mentioned vessel beyond the territorial jurisdiction of His Majesty.

　　　　　　　Rule 2. If there is now in any such port, roadstead, or waters subject to the territorial jurisdiction of the British Crown any ship of war of either belligerent, such ship of war shall leave such port, roadstead, or waters within such time not less than twenty-four hours as shall be reasonable, having regard to all the circumstances and the condition of such ship as to repairs, provisions, or things necessary for the subsistence of her crew; and if after the date hereof any ship of war of either belligerent shall enter any such port, road- stead, or waters, subject to the territorial jurisdiction of the British Crown, such ship shall depart and put to sea within twenty-four hours after her entrance into any such port, road- stead, or waters, except in case of stress of weather, or of her requiring provisions or things necessary for the subsistence of her crew, or repairs; in either of which cases the authorities of the port, or of the nearest port (as the case may be), shall require her to put to sea as soon as possible after the expiration of such period of twenty-four hours, without permitting her to take in supplies beyond what may be necessary for lier immediate use; and no such vessel which may have been allowed to remain within British waters for the purpose of repair shall continue in any such port, roadstead, or waters, for a longer period than twenty- four hours after her necessary repairs shall have been completed. Provided, nevertheless, that in all cases in which there shall be any vessels (whether ships of war or merchant ships) of both the said belligerent parties in the same port, roadstead, or waters within the terri- torial jurisdiction of His Majesty, there shall be an interval of not less than twenty-four hours between the departure therefrom of any such vessel (whether a ship of war or mer- chant ship) of the one belligerent, and the subsequent departure therefrom of any ship of war of the other belligerent; and the time hereby limited for the departure of such ships or war respectively shall always, in case of necessity, be extended so far as may be requisite fof giving effect to this proviso, but no further or otherwise.

　　　　　　　Rule 3. No ship of war of either belligerent shall hereafter be permitted, while in any such port, roadstead, or waters subject to the territorial jurisdiction of His Majesty, to take in any supplies, except provisions and such other things as may be requisite for the sub- sistence of her crew, and except so much coal only as may be sufficient to carry such vessel to the nearest port of her own country, or to some nearer named neutral destination, and no coal shall again be supplied to any such ship of war in the same or any other port roadstead, or waters subject to the territorial jurisdiction of His Majesty, without special permission, until after the expiration of three months from the time when such coal may have been last supplied to her within British waters as aforesaid.

　　　　　　　Rule 4. Armed ships of either belligerent are interdicted from carrying prizes made by them into the ports, harbours, roadsteads, or waters of the United Kingdom, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands or any of His Majesty's Colonies or possessions abroad.

　　　　　　　The Governor or other chief authority of each of His Majesty's territories or posses- sions beyond the seas shall forthwith notify and publish the above Rules.

I have, &c.,

E. GREY.

EXECUTIVE COUNCIL.

No. 352.

　　　　　　　Regulation made by the Governor-in-Council under Section 25 (4) of the Merchant Shipping Ordinance. 1899, (Ordinance No. 10 of 1899), this 22nd day of November, 1912.

　　　　　　Regulation No. 23 in Table M of the Schedule to the Merchant Shipping Ordinance, 1899, is hereby repealed and the following is substituted therefor :-

"23. Any vessel approaching a defended port in the Colony of Hongkong when searchlights are being worked, and finding that they interfere with her safe navigation, may make use of the following signals, either singly or combined :-

(a.) By flashing lamp, four short flashes followed by one long flash.

(b.) By whistle siren, or fog-horn, four short blasts followed by one long

blast.

Whenever possible, both flashing lamp signals and sound signals should be used. On these signals being made, the searchlights will be worked so as to cause the least

inconvenience, being either doused, raised, or their direction altered.

The signal should not be used without real necessity, as unless the vessel is actually in the rays of the searchlight it is impossible to know which searchlight is affected.

The signals are designed to assist mariners and do not render the Government liable

in any way."

　　　　　　No. 353.-It is hereby notified that the following Societies have been exempted by the Governor-in-Council from registration under the Societies Ordinance, 1911, (Ordinance No. 47 of 1911), and their names are hereby added to the List of Exempted Societies, published in Government Notification No. 195 of 1912, under the following headings
