Despatches from Secretary of State for the Colonies.

Colonial Secretary's Office,
Wellington, 4th January, 1874.

THE following Despatches, with Enclosure, from
Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for
the Colonies, are published for general information.

WILLIAM H. REYNOLDS,
(in absence of the Colonial Secretary).

Downing Street, 24th October, 1873.
SIR, I have received your Despatch No. 61, of the
25th July last, respecting the precedency to be
assigned to gentlemen who have retired from the
Executive Council, and who have received Her
Majesty's permission to retain the Title of Honorable
within the Colony.

I had already conveyed to you, by my Despatch
General of the 23rd ultimo, my approval of the
adoption by your Government of the rule already in
force in New South Wales.

This rule was adhered to as being in accordance
with the precedency assigned to the members for
the time being of the Executive Council in clause 5
of the Royal Instructions which accompanied your
Commission; but I concur with you in the opinion
that some modification of this rule is advisable in
order to meet the case of those former members of
the Executive Council on whom a special privilege
has been permanently conferred; and I have to con-
vey to you the Queen's pleasure that former mem-
bers of the Executive Council, who have been per-
mitted to bear the Title of Honorable permanently
within the Colony, shall take precedence next after
the actual members of the Executive Council, accord-
ing to the dates at which they respectively became
qualified by length of service to receive such
privilege.

I have, &c.,
KIMBERLEY.

Governor the Right Hon.
Sir J. Fergusson, Baronet, &c.

[CIRCULAR.]
Downing Street, 10th October, 1873.
SIR, I have the honor to transmit to you, for
publication in the Colony under your Government,
a copy of a Treaty between Her Majesty and the
King of Sweden and Norway for the mutual surrender
of Fugitive Criminals, as well as a copy of the Order
in Council of the 30th ultimo, for carrying into effect
that Treaty.

I have, &c.,
KIMBERLEY.

The Officer Administering
the Government of New Zealand.

At the Court at Balmoral, the 30th day of September,
1873.
Present:

THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by an Act of Parliament made and passed
in the Session of Parliament holden in the thirty-
third and thirty-fourth years of the reign of Her
present Majesty, intituled "An Act for amending
the Law relating to the Extradition of Criminals," it
was, amongst other things, enacted, that where an
arrangement has been made with any foreign State
with respect to the surrender to such State of any
fugitive criminals, Her Majesty may, by Order in
Council, direct that the said Act shall apply in the
case of such foreign State; and that Her Majesty
may, by the same or any subsequent order, limit the
operation of the order, and restrict the same to
fugitive criminals who are in or suspected of being in
the part of Her Majesty's dominions specified in the
order, and render the operation thereof subject to
such conditions, exceptions, and qualifications as may
be deemed expedient:

And whereas a Treaty was concluded on the twenty-
sixth day of June last between Her Majesty and the
King of Sweden and Norway for the mutual extradi-
tion of fugitive criminals, which Treaty is in the
terms following:—

Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of
