THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY,
His Royal Highness Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany; Lord
Privy Seal, Lord Steward, Mr. Gladstone, Secretary Sir
William Vernon Harcourt.

WHEREAS by "The Extradition Acts 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 twenty-ninth day
of November, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-nine,
between Her Majesty and His Majesty the King of Tonga, of
which treaty Article IV., relating to the extradition of fugitive
criminals, is in the terms following:---

Her Britannic Majesty agrees to surrender to His Majesty
the King of Tonga any Tongan subject who, being accused or
convicted of any of the under-mentioned crimes, committed in
the territory of the King of Tonga, shall be found within the
territory of Her Britannic Majesty. The crimes for which such
surrender may be granted are the following: Murder or attempt
to murder, embezzlement or larceny, fraudulent bankruptcy,
forgery.

Her Britannic Majesty may, however, at any time put an end
to this article by giving notice to that effect to His Majesty the
King of Tonga. The article shall, however, remain in force for
six months after the notice of its termination:

And whereas previously to the exchange of the ratifications
of the said treaty a protocol bearing date the third day of July,
one thousand eight hundred and eighty-two, was signed and
sealed by the Plenipotentiaries of Her Majesty and of His
Majesty the King of Tonga respectively, being duly authorized
for that purpose, which protocol is in the terms following:—

It is agreed that the arrangement contained in Article IV. of
the said treaty shall be subject to the restrictions on the
surrender of fugitive criminals contained in the Acts respecting
extradition, which are in force in the dominions of Her
Britannic Majesty, and the procedure to be adopted with
respect to the surrender of such criminals shall be in conformity
with the provisions of the said Acts:

And whereas the ratifications of the said treaty were
exchanged at Nukualofa on the third day of July, one thousand
eight hundred and eighty-two:

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 Acts, doth order, and it is hereby ordered,
that the said Acts shall apply in the case of Tonga and of
Article IV. of the said treaty with His Majesty the King of
Tonga and of the said protocol.
