"MADGE MUNRO CASE.
EXTRADITION PROCEEDINGS.
FULL COURT APPLICATION.
(By Telegraph.—JPress Association.)
WELLINGTON, Wednesday.
' A further application on behalf of Jladgo Munro for the issue of a writ of habeas corpus is being heard by the Full Court. Muriro is one of the prisoners being held pending extradition to Sydney, the validity of which has been attacked. The point at issue is whether New South Wales comes within the definition "part of His Majesty's dominions" in the Fugitive Offenders' Act, a submission being that the Act, in providing for the rendition of prisoners in British possessions, clearly intended that possessions should bo indivisible units and that since the constitution of the Australian States into a Commonwealth, New South Wales was no longer an indivisible unit, but had become part of a larger unit, the Commonwealth.
