before the Court, where personal violence had been done by a husband to a wife,
and further that in the general observations made in Leach's case and relied
upon by the appellant, the Law Lords had no intention of including cases
such as the one with which he was dealing.
EXTRADITION AND VOLUNTARY SURRENDER
IN the case
R.
v. Corrigan, reported on page 106 of 22 Criminal Appeal Cases,
the defendant had been given into the custody of the police of this country
by a State (France) with which there is a British Extradition Treaty. He
objected at his trial that he had been, in fact, extradited under the Treaty
and was therefore entitled to claim any protection which the Treaty might
afford.
Under the Extradition Treaty with
France'
a person surrendered shall
not be tried for any crime or offence committed in the other country before
the Extradition, other than the crime for which his surrender has been
granted.'
Corrigan was arrested in France upon a charge of obtaining money by
false pretences. When he was tried, the charge preferred against him was
one of fraudulent conversion. Having no defence on the merits of either
charge, he relied upon an objection to the jurisdiction of the Court.
It
was
held that the onus of proof that he had, in fact,
been'
extradited'
was upon
him, and that as he had failed to discharge such onus, the Court of trial had
jurisdiction.
It
was held further that aCourt has jurisdiction to try a
'fugitive criminal,' on any ,
crime'
that may be proved by the facts on
which the surrender is granted. Or to put it in other words, that
the'
crime
for which surrender has been
granted'
refers to the set of facts on which the
fugitive is surrendered and not to the particular denomination of crime
mentioned.

To the Editor of
THE
POLICE
JOURNAL
SIR,
With reference to page 119 of the January issue of your PoliceJournal,
I take the liberty to address you with the transcription of the first cipher
problem given therein. I am afraid I am too late in sending this for publica-
tion in the April issue. This is because I happened to read this Journal only
a few days before.
If
you think fit, it may be published in the next issue.
