A Declaration was signed in London on the 21st of April, 1887, between the British and Belgian Governments, for amending Article I. of the Extra- dition Treaty of 20th May, 1876. The amended Article will henceforth read as follows:— " It is agreed that Her Britannic Majesty and his Majesty the King of the Belgians shall, on requisi tion made in their name by their respective Diplo- matic Agents, deliver up to each other, reciprocally, any persons who, being accused or convicted as principals or accessories of the crimes hereinafter specified, committed within the territories of the requiring party, shall be found within the territories • of the other party." " In no case, nor under any consideration whatever, shall ' he High Contracting Parties be bound to surrender their own subjects whether by birth or naturalisation." The result of the modification in the Treaty is that either Government may deliver up its own subjects to the other Government, but cannot be considered bound to do so. APPREHENSIONS SOUGHT.
