HC Deb 29 April 1895 vol 33 c41
*MR. J. W. LOWTHER (Cumberland, Penrith)

I beg to ask the Attorney General whether the Law Officers of the Crown have considered by what means a trial can take place in the case of Dr. Cornelius Herz, who has now practically been under arrest for over two years; whether the difficulty which now exists could be met by an Amendment of the Extradition Act; and whether Her Majesty's Government contemplate the introduction of a Bill for that purpose; and, if not, what steps Her Majesty's Government propose to take in the matter?

THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL (Sir ROBERT REID,) Dumfries

replied that the hearing of the case of Dr. Herz at Bournemouth could be possible by Amendment of the Extradition Act, and a Bill for that purpose would be introduced in another place.
