“The Roumanian Government may in its absolute discretion refuse to deliver up any person charged with a crime punishable with death.

“This protocol shall have the same force and the same duration as the treaty of extradition signed to-day.

“In witness whereof the respective plenipotentiaries have signed the same, and have affixed thereto the seal of their arms.

“Done in duplicate at Bucharest, the twenty-first (ninth) of March, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-three.

And whereas a protocol explanatory of section twenty-one of Article II. of the aforesaid treaty was signed at Bucharest on the thirteenth day of March, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-four, which protocol is in the terms following :—

“In order to avoid the possibility of any misunderstanding arising from the present text of § 21 of Article II. of the treaty of extradition concluded between Great Britain and Roumania on the 21st (9th) of March, 1893, the undersigned plenipotentiaries, duly authorised thereto by the respective Governments, have agreed as follows :—

“The fact of having kidnapped or falsely imprisoned one or more persons will not admit of a requisition for extradition being made unless the act shall have been committed by private individuals. No such requisition can be made as against public functionaries who may have been guilty of the act in question while in the performance of their duties.

“The present protocol shall be considered as approved and sanctioned by the respective Governments without any special ratification, by the sole fact of the exchange of the ratifications of the treaty to which it refers.

“Done in duplicate at Bucharest, the thirteenth (first) day of March, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and ninety-four.

“(L.S.) JOHN WALSHAM.

And whereas the ratifications of the said treaty and protocol of the twenty-first day of March, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-three, were exchanged at Bucharest on the thirteenth day of March, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-four :

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 from and after the twenty-first day of May, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-four, the said Acts shall apply in the case of Roumania, and of the said treaty and protocol of the twenty-first of March, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-three, and of the protocol of the thirteenth of March, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-four, with the King of Roumania.

Provided always, and it is hereby further ordered, that the operation of the said Extradition Acts, 1870 and 1873, shall be suspended within the Dominion of Canada so far as relates to Roumania and to the said treaty and protocols, and so long as the provisions of the Canadian Act aforesaid of 1886 continue in force, and no longer.
