Slochana on foot of two warrants ..signed by a
Justice of the Peace for the Borough of Kingston-
upon-Thames, London and duly endorsed
for
execution in Ireland by a Deputy Commissioner of
the Garda Siochana. The prosecutor was arrested
and brought to the Bridewell in Dublin for the
purpose of being handed over to the English police.
The warrants contained recitals that informations on
oath had been laid against the prosecutor alleging
offences under sections 154 (13) and 156
(a)
of the
Bankruptcy Act, 1914, as amended. This Act is an
English statute which never •applied in Ireland. The
prosecutor obtained a conditional order of habeas
corpus and subjiciendum directed to the station
sergeant at the Bridewell and on the application to
make absolute the conditional order the cause shown
was allowed and the conditional order discharged.
Against tliis order the prosecutor appealed on the
grounds, inter alia, that there was no evidence that
the acts alleged in the warrants constituted a crime
or offence under English law.
It was held by the Supreme Court (reversing the
High Court) that the cause shown should be dis
allowed and the conditional order of habeas corpus
made absolute.
Walsh J. who delivered the judgment of the court
stated, in the course of his judgment, that there was
no evidence that the matters complained against the
applicant in the warrants are offences or crimes,
under English law. Adopting the view of Gavan
Duffy P., in the State (DowUng)
v.
Brennan and
Kingston 71 I.L.T.R., 90, 131, (1937) I.R. 483, at
p, 509, Mr. Justice Walsh said that he was of opinion
that the appropriate authority in Ireland should
decline to affix his indorsement to such a warrant
until he is satisfied on proper evidence that the
warrant was issued for a crime or an offence according
to the law for the time being in force in the country
in which the warrant originated.
