The defendant had been subject to an application for extradition to Lithuania. He had consented to the extradition and was in custody awaiting the transfer. At the same time he awaited trial in the Crown Court, and the judge had ordered his detention pending the trial.
Held: There appeared to be conflicting orders. In this case the governor was not required to deliver the prisoner to the crown court, but instead only to answer to the order when it came surrendering him for extradition.
