THE following despatch, received from Her Majesty's
Principal Secretary of State for the Colonies, is
published for general information.

P. A. BUCKLEY.

Downing Street, 13th July, 1886.

SIR,—I have the honour to transmit to you, for information
and publication in the colony under your Government, a copy
of a treaty for the mutual extradition of fugitive criminals
between Great Britain and the Republic of the Equator,
signed on the 20th day of September, 1880, the ratifications
of which were exchanged on the 19th February last, and
which, by Order of Her Majesty in Council of the 26th June,
came into operation on the 2nd instant.

I have, &c.,
GRANVILLE.

The Officer Administering the Government
of New Zealand.

At the Court at Windsor, the 26th day of June, 1886.

Present:

The Queen's Most Excellent Majesty,

Lord President, Lord Steward, Earl of Rosebery, Mr. Fowler.

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 Ma-
Jestry 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 that if, by
any law made after the passing of the Act of 1870 by the
Legislature of any British possession, provision is made for
carrying into effect within such possession the surrender of
fugitive criminals who are in or suspected of being in such
British possession, Her Majesty may, by the Order in Coun-
cil applying the said Acts in the case of any foreign State, or
by any subsequent order, suspend the operation within any
such British possession of the said Acts, or of any part there-
of, so far as it relates to such foreign State, and so long as
such law continues in force there and no longer:

And whereas in accordance with section 18 of "The Ex-
tradition Act, 1870," the Legislature of the Dominion of
Canada has, by laws passed in the years 1877 and 1882, and
respectively styled "The Extradition Act, 1877," and "An
Act to amend the Extradition Act, 1877," made provision
for carrying into effect within the Dominion the surrender
of fugitive criminals who are in or are suspected of being in
the Dominion:

And whereas a treaty was concluded on the twentieth day
of September, one thousand eight hundred and eighty, be-
tween Her Majesty and the President of the Republic of the
Equator, 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 His Excellency the President of
the Republic of Ecuador, 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 convicted of the
crimes hereinafter enumerated, and being fugitives from
justice, should, under certain circumstances, be reciprocally
delivered up; Her Britannic Majesty and the President of
Ecuador 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: Frederick Douglas Hamilton, Esquire,
her Minister Resident at Ecuador;

And His Excellency the President of Ecuador: General
Cornelio E. Vernaza, Minister of Foreign Affairs and of the
Interior;

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.

It is agreed that Her Britannic Majesty's Government
and that of Ecuador shall, on requisition made in their
name by their respective diplomatic agents, deliver up to
each other reciprocally any persons who, being accused or
convicted of any of the crimes hereinafter specified, com-
mitted within the jurisdiction of the requiring party, shall
be found within the territories of the other party:—
