The magistrate had no power to order overseas deponents to be brought to Hong Kong for cross-examination; authenticated depositions from overseas may be used without cross-examination in extradition proceedings; the Bill of Rights did not alter that position or confer the contested rights in the context of extradition; no stay was granted because no s.77E application had been made and the applicant had had ample opportunity to apply.
