THERE is an impression that an En-.
glishman who commits murder
in Central Africa can not be pun
ished, because no man can be indicted
for murder out of the county or country
where the crime is perpetrated. A man
who ic interested in the recent African
horrors has called attention to recent
statute which is in force in En-
