The applicant sought a writ of habeas corpus. He had been committed to prison pending extradition for murder to the USA. He argued that he should not be extradited because he would face a possible death penalty. The court refused the writ. The issue was not one to be faced at committal, but properly one to be addressed to the Secretary of State when the warrant was requested.
