Section 7, * The Extradition Act, 1870, and the Acts amending the same apply to the Colony.

(I) A warrant for the apprehension of a fugitive criminal,whether accused or convicted of crime, who is in, or suspected of being in, or on the way to, the Protectorate may be issued- (a) by a Magistrate on the receipt of the said order of the Governor and on such evidence as would in his opinion justify the issue of the warrant, if the crime had been committed or the criminal convicted in the Protectorate; and (b) by a Judge of the Supreme Court or a Magistrate in any part of the Protectorate, on such charge on oath and such evidence, or after such proceedings, as would in the opinion of the person issuing the warrant justify the issue of a warrant, if the crime had been committed or the criminal convicted in that part of the Protectorate in which he exercises jurisdiction. (2) Any person issuing a warrant under this section without an order from the Governor shall forthwith send a report of the fact of such issue, together with the evidence and information or complaint, or certified copies thereof, to the Governor, who may, if he think fit, order the warrant to be cancelled, and the person who has been apprehended on the warrant to be discharged. (3) A fugitive criminal, when apprehended on a warrant issued without the order of the Governor, shall be brought before some person having power to issue a warrant under this section, who shall by warrant order him to be brought, and the prisoner shall accordingly be brought, before a Judge of the Supreme Court. A fugitive criminal apprehended on a warrant issued without the order of the Governor shall be discharged by the Judge of the Supreme Court, unless the Judge within such reasonable time, as with reference to the circumstances of the case he may fix, receives from the Governor an order signifying that a requisition has been made for the surrender of such criminal.
