Consequently, on the part of the Danish Government, the surrender shall be made only by the consent of the Minister to whose department appertains the administration of justice, and after the production, in the case of a person accused, of a warrant of arrest or other equivalent judicial document, issued by a judge or other competent authority in the United Kingdom, clearly setting forth the acts for which the fugitive shall have rendered himself accountable; or, in the case of a person convicted, on the production of an authenticated copy of his conviction, and on proof of his identity.

On the part of the British Government, the surrender in the case of a person accused shall be made only on the warrant or other equivalent judicial document for the arrest of a fugitive, issued by a judge or magistrate duly authorized to take cognizance of the acts charged against the fugitive in Denmark, and on duly authenticated depositions or statements on oath before such judge or magistrate, clearly setting forth the said acts, or on such other evidence thereof as, according to the laws of England, would warrant the apprehension of the said fugitive, and his committal for trial for the

fældt person alene skal finde sted, naar en bekræftet gjenpart af dommen er bleven fremlagt, og hans identitet er bleven godtgjort.

Som en fölge heraf skal fra den Danske Regerings side udleveringen alene finde sted, naar det Ministerium, under hvilket retspleiens ledelse henhörer, dertil har givet sit samtykke, og efterat, dersom personen er sat under anklage, en arrestordre eller andet tilsvarende retsdocument er blevet tilveiebragt, udfærdiget af en domstol eller anden competent myndighed i det Forenede Kongerige og indeholdende en klar angivelse af de handlinger, i hvilke den undvegne person formenes at have gjort sig skyldig; eller, dersom personen er domfældt, efterat en bekræftet gjenpart of dommen er bleven fremlagt, og hans identitet er bleven godtgjort.

Fra den Storbritanniske Regerings side skal udleveringen alene finde sted, for en anklaget persons vedkommende, mod tilveiebringelse af et arrestdecret eller andet tilsvarende retsdocument, udfærdiget til paagribelse af den undvegne af en domstol eller anden offentlig myndighed i Danmark, som er berettiget til at anstille undersögelser om de handlinger, der lægges den undvegne til last, samt af behörigen bekræftede udsagn eller forklaringer, afgivne under eds tilbud for en saadan domstol eller en offentlig myndighed og indeholdende en tydelig angivelse af disse hand

II. In the case of a person accused or convicted of any of the crimes mentioned in the preceding Article, who may have fled from a colony or possession of one of the High Contracting Parties, and be found in a colony or possession of the other, the surrender shall be made, subject always to the conditions prescribed in the preceding Article, on a requisition addressed by the Governor of the one colony directly to the Governor of the other. The Governor upon whom the requisition is made shall be at liberty either to grant the surrender or to refer the matter to his Government.

III. The expenses of any de

tention and surrender made in virtue of the preceding Articles shall be borne and defrayed by the Government in whose name the requisition shall have been made.

linger, eller af andet saadant beviis, som i overensstemmelse med Englands love indeholde hjemmel til at paagribe den undvegne og stille ham for retten, dersom handlingerne vare blevne begaaede i bemeldte land; eller, for en domfældt persons vedkommende, mod tilveiebringelsen af en bekræftet gjenpart af dommen og af beviis for hans identitet.

II. Dersom en person, anklaget eller domfældt for nogen af de i foregaaende Artikel nævnte forbrydelser, skulde være undvegen fra en coloni eller besiddelse tilhörende den ene af de Höie Contraherende Parter og blive antruffen i en coloni eller besiddelse tilhörende den anden part, skal udleveringen, dog ikkun under de i foregaaende Artikel fastsatte betingelser, finde sted paa en af den ene colonies Gouverneur til den anden colonies Gouverneur directe rettet begjæring. Det skal staae den Gouverneur, til hvem begjæringen er rettet, frit for enten at indrömme udleveringen eller at henstille sagen til sin Regerings afgjörelse.

III. Omkostningerne ved en i overenstemmelse med ovenstaaende Artikel stedfunden anholdelse og udlevering skulle bæres og udredes af den Regering, i hvis navn begjæringen er frem

sat.

IV. Nærværende Convention skal træde i kraft, saasnart den fornödne sanction af den lovgivende Magt er tilveiebragt. Hver af de Höie Contraherende

shall be at liberty to give notice to the other at any time for its termination; and in such case it shall altogether cease and deterice at the expiration of 6 months from the date of such Dotice.

V. The present Convention shall be ratified, and the ratifications shall be exchanged at London in one month, or sooner if possible.

In witness whereof the respective Plenipotentiaries have signed the present Convention, and have afixed thereto the seal of their

Parter skal til enhver tid være berettiget til at opsige den anden part denne Convention, der i saadant tilfælde skal ophöre at være gjældende sex maaneder fra opsigelsens dato.

V. Nærværende Convention skal ratificeres, og ratificationerne skulle udvexles i London om en maaned, eller tidligere, hvis skee kan.

Dette til bekræftelse have de respective befuldmægtigede undertegnet nærværende Convention, og paatrykt samme deres vaabensegl.
