ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House at Wellington, this 26th day of July, 1938.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by section three of the Judicature Amendment Act, 1933, it is enacted that in addition to the sittings of the Court of Appeal fixed pursuant to section eight of the Judicature Amendment Act, 1913, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in that Act, special sittings of the said Court shall be held at such times and places as may in accordance with that section be from time to time appointed by the Governor-General by Order in Council published in the Gazette, and that the authority conferred on the Governor-General by that section shall be exercised only on the certificate of not less than three Judges of the Supreme Court (of whom the Chief Justice shall be one) given on the ground that it is not desirable or expedient that the hearing of any appeal or other proceeding, to be specified in the certificate, should be deferred until the next ordinary sitting of the Court of Appeal:

And whereas there is now pending before the Court of Appeal of New Zealand a case (commenced in the Supreme Court of New Zealand but since moved into the Court of Appeal) in which the plaintiff is Charles Edmund Godwin (a Detective-Sergeant of the New South Wales Police stationed in the City of Sydney, in the State of New South Wales, in the Commonwealth of Australia, but at present residing in and for the purposes of the discharge of his duty in the City of Auckland in the Dominion of New Zealand), and the defendant is Charles Rutherford Orr Walker (a Stipendiary Magistrate of New Zealand exercising jurisdiction as such in the said City of Auckland), and in such action the said plaintiff claims that a writ of mandamus may issue against the defendant ordering him to hear and determine the plaintiff’s application for the endorsement under and in accordance with the provisions of Part II and in particular section thirteen of the Fugitive Offenders Act, 1881, of a certain warrant issued by a Magistrate in the City of Sydney, in the State of New South Wales, in the Commonwealth of Australia, directing the plaintiff to apprehend and bring before a Magistrate in the said State of New South Wales a certain person named in the said warrant to answer a criminal charge therein contained:

And whereas a question raised by the aforesaid action is whether the provisions of Part II of the Fugitive Offenders Act, 1881, apply to the rendition of alleged fugitive offenders from New Zealand to any specified State in the Commonwealth of Australia (or any part thereof) for trial therein or threat of an alleged offence against the criminal law of that State:
