MR. OTWAYsaid, in reply, that, as he was informed, embezzlement was included in the list of crimes in the Extradition Bill; but the Government would boar in mind the suggestion of his hon. Friend in case there should be any alteration in the Extradition Treaty between 1734 this country and the United States. There was, however, no immediate intention of proposing any.
