 m BB FOWLEB. 813 �Britainwith an extradition crime under the extradition treaty as existing between that country and the United States." �The document musfc appear to be one which wonld be received as evidence of the criminality of Powler, in re- spect to this offence, by the tribunals of Great Britain, if the inquiry were going on there in respect to the offence as com- mitted there, and not a document which would be received by the tribunals of Great Britain as evidence of the criminality of a fugitive criminal from the United States charged before one of such tribunals with an extradition crime committed in the United States. �The original depositions of Jowett and Hustler purport to have been eeverally taken and sworn to at Bradford before W. Pollard, a justice of the peace. Under the foregoing views, the oertificates to such depositions ought to be in, or amount in substance to, the following f orms : �"I hereby certify that the signature of W. Pollard to the fore- going deposition i8,to the best of my knowledge and belief, his signature, and the signature of a magistrate in England having authority to take the same, and that said deposition certified as within, by said Pollard, to the taking thereof before him, and authenticated by a minister of state, and sealed with his officiai seal, would be received in the tribunals of Great Brit- ain as evidence of the criminality of George Fowler,- alias E. Gray, named in said deposition, in respect of the offence charged against him as committed in Great Britain, namely, that he feloniously did forge, utter, and put off certain orders, purporting to be orders by William Jowett, for the payment of money, to-wit, bankers' checks, for the payment of the sum of £60, with intent thereby then and there to defraud, if the inquiry as to such criminality were being had in the tribunals of Great Britain. �'GODFRBY LUSHINOTON, �"Assistant under Secretary of State for the Home [Seal.] Department. �"Wkitehall, 2d October, 1880." ����
