The habeas corpus application fails because extradition committal proceedings are a preliminary inquiry not a trial, the applicant did not raise an arguable case that the magistrate erred in law or that race prejudice would likely occur at trial, and there is no entitlement in extradition committal proceedings to an order under s.77/77E to obtain foreign testimony to undermine the evidence before the magistrate.
