sion the surrender of fugitive criminals, who are in

Majesty may, by the Order in Council applying the
same Act in the case of any Foreign State, or by any
subsequent order, either suspend the operation within
any such British possession of the said Act, or of any
part thereof, so far as it relates to such foreign
State, and so long as such law continues in force

modifications and alterations thereinafter contained:

And whereas the said Bill was reserved for the
signification of the Queen's pleasure, and Her
Majesty has been pleased by Order in Council to
declare her assent to the same:

Now, therefore, Her Majesty in pursuance of "The
Extradition Act, 1870," and in exercise of the power
in that behalf in the said Act contained, doth by
this present Order, by and with the advice of Her
Majesty's Privy Council, direct that the said "New
Zealand Extradition Act, 1874," shall have effect
in the Colony of New Zealand as if it were part
of the Extradition Act of 1870: And the Right
Honorable the Earl of Carnarvon, one of Her
