EXTRADITION ACT 1870 - SECT 9

Hearing of case and evidence of political character of crime.

9. When a fugitive criminal is brought before the police magistrate, the
police magistrate shall hear the case in the same manner, and have the same
jurisdiction and powers, as near as may be, as if the prisoner were brought
before him charged with an indictable offence committed in England.

The police magistrate shall receive any evidence which may be tendered to show
that the crime of which the prisoner is accused or alleged to have been
convicted is an offence of a political character or is not an
extradition crime.
