Extradition - Crippen
Copy of correspondence from H.M. Ambassador in United States relating to the case of Crippen.
Minutes
An illustration of the extraordinary one-sided nature of the Extradition Treaty with the USA. The USA Govt. can do nothing themselves to carry out the treaty - H.M. Govt. gets nothing by the treaty except the right to use the cumbrous costly and inadequate machinery of USA law against an accused person!
