THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE.

ARTICLE VIII.
Warrants, depositions, or statements on oath,
issued or taken in the dominions of either of the
two High Contracting Parties, and copies thereof,
and certificates of or judicial documents stating the
fact of conviction, shall be received in evidence in
proceedings in the dominions of the other, if pur-
porting to be signed or certified by a Judge,
Magistrate, or officer of the country where they
were issued or taken, and provided they are authen-
ticated by the oath of some witness, or by being
sealed with the official seal of the Minister of Justice,
or some other Minister of State.

ARTICLE IX.
The surrender shall not take place if, since the
commission of the acts charged, the accusation, or
the conviction, exemption from prosecution or
punishment has been acquired by lapse of time
according to the laws of the country where the
accused or convicted person shall have taken refuge.

ARTICLE X.
If the individual claimed should be under pro-
secution or in custody for a crime or offence
committed in the country where he may have taken
refuge, his surrender may be deferred until he shall
have been set at liberty in due course of law.
In case he should be proceeded against or detained
in such country on account of obligations contracted
towards private individuals, his surrender shall never-
theless take place, the injured party retaining his
right to prosecute his claims before the competent
authority.

ARTICLE XI.
Every article found in the possession of the indi-
vidual claimed at the time of his arrest shall be
seized, in order to be delivered up with his person
at the time when the surrender shall be made. Such
delivery shall not be limited to the property or
articles obtained by stealing or by fraudulent bank-
ruptcy, but shall extend to every thing that may
serve as a proof of the crime. It shall take place
even when the surrender, after having been ordered,
shall be prevented from taking place by reason of
the escape or death of the individual claimed.

ARTICLE XII.
Each of the two Contracting Parties shall defray
the expenses occasioned by the arrest within its
territories, the detention, and the conveyance to its
frontier, of the persons whom it may consent to
surrender in pursuance of the present Treaty.

ARTICLE XIII.
The stipulations of the present Treaty shall be
applicable to the Colonies or foreign Possessions of
the two High Contracting Parties, in the following
manner:--
The requisition for the surrender of a fugitive
criminal who has taken refuge in a Colony or foreign
Possession of either of the two Contracting Parties,
shall be made to the Governor or Chief Authority of
such Colony or Possession by the Chief Consular
Officer of the other Party in such Colony or
Possession; or, if the fugitive has escaped from a
Colony or foreign Possession of the Party on whose
behalf the requisition is made, by the Governor or
Chief Authority of such Colony or Possession.
Such requisitions may be disposed of, subject
always, as nearly as may be, to the provisions of this
Treaty, by the respective Governors or Chief
Authorities, who, however, shall be at liberty either
to grant the surrender, or to refer the matter to
their Government.
Her Britannic Majesty and His Majesty the King
of Denmark shall, however, be at liberty to make
special arrangements in their Colonies and foreign
Possessions for the surrender of criminals who may
take refuge therein, on the basis, as nearly as may
be, of the provisions of the present Treaty.

ARTICLE XIV.
The present Treaty shall come into operation ten
days after its publication, in conformity with the
forms prescribed by the laws of the High Contracting
Parties.
After the Treaty shall so have been brought into
operation, the Convention concluded between the
High Contracting Parties on the 15th of April, 1862,
shall be considered as cancelled, except as to any
proceeding that may have already been taken or
commenced in virtue thereof.
Either Party may at any time terminate the Treaty
on giving to the other six months' notice of its
intention.

ARTICLE XV.
The present Treaty shall be ratified, and the
ratification shall be exchanged at Copenhagen as
soon as may be within four weeks from the date of
signature.
In witness whereof, the respective Plenipotentiaries
have signed the same, and have affixed thereto the
seals of their arms,
Done at Copenhagen, the thirty-first day of March,
in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred
and seventy-three.

And whereas the ratifications of the said Treaty
were exchanged at Copenhagen on the twenty-sixth
day of April last:
Now, therefore, Her Majesty, by and with the
advice of Her Privy Council, and in virtue of the
authority committed to Her by the said recited Act,
doth order, and it is hereby ordered, that from and
after the seventh day of July, one thousand eight
hundred and seventy-three, the said Act shall apply
in the case of the said Treaty with the King of
Denmark.
