dition of criminals, upon which they have at this
present agreed, having met in conference, took into
their consideration the following subjects:-
They directed their attention to the fact that the
criminal law of England punishes the crime of in-
fanticide with the same penalty as that of murder,
when accompanied by corresponding circumstances;
and that it results therefrom that extradition should
take place even for attempting to commit that crime.
On the other hand, they observed, that according
to the Brazilian law, infanticide is not punished as
murder, nor even as manslaughter, but as a crime
distinct from both, and by a minor punishment, and
that consequently extradition should not take place
for the attempt.
They consequently resolved to declare that extra-
dition shall solely take place for the crime of infan-
ticide, and not for an attempt to commit that crime.
With this declaration they agreed to close this
conference, from which the present Protocol emanates;
which being found in conformity, was signed, each
having a copy thereof.
Done in the city of Rio de Janeiro, the thirteenth
day of November of 1872.
