Present:

THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY, LORD
PRESIDENT, LORD CHAMBERLAIN, SECRETARY SIR
WILLIAM VERNON HARCOURT, MR. GLADSTONE.

WHEREAS by the Extradition Acts of 1870 and 1873,
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 Acts 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 thirty-
first day of March, one thousand eight hundred and
seventy-four, between Her Majesty and the Swiss
Confederation, for the mutual extradition of fugitive
criminals, which treaty is in the terms following:--

Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom
of Great Britain and Ireland, and the Swiss Con-
federation, having judged it expedient, with a view to
the better administration of justice and to the pre-
vention of crime within their respective territories
and jurisdictions, that persons charged with, or con-
victed of, the crimes hereinafter enumerated, and
being fugitives from justice, should, under certain
circumstances, be reciprocally delivered up, have
named as their Plenipotentiaries to conclude a treaty
for this purpose, that is to say,-

Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Ireland: Alfred Guthrie Graham
Bonar, Esquire, Her Envoy Extraordinary and Min-
ister Plenipotentiary to the Swiss Conferation;

And the Federal Council of the Swiss Confedera-
tion: Joseph Martin Knüsel, Member of the Swiss
Federal Council;

Who, after having communicated to each other
their respective full powers, found in good and due
form, have agreed upon and concluded the following
articles :-

ARTICLE I.

The high contracting parties engage to deliver up
to each other those persons who, being accused or
convicted of a crime committed in the territory of
the one party, shall be found within the territory of
the other party under the circumstances and con-
ditions stated in the present treaty.

ARTICLE II:

The crimes for which the extradition is to be
granted are the following:

1. Murder (including infanticide) and attempt to
   murder.
2. Manslaughter.
3. Counterfeiting or altering money, uttering or
   bringing into circulation counterfeit or altered
