It may be noted that Traver’s Projet, Art. 12, Appendix IV, No. 4, expressly excludes consent of the surrendered person as an exception to the rule of specialty.

It is interesting that in United States ex rel. Donnelly v. Mulligan (1934), 74 F. (2d), 220, the Circuit Court of Appeals held that the United States-French treaty, which expressly forbade the trying of an extradited person for a different crime from that for which ne was extradited, but which said nothing about re-extradition, by implication prohibited re-extradition since the person claimed was extradited only to be tried for the crime specified. Donnelly was therefore discharged. (However, permission for his re-extradition was obtained from France, and his extradition was then upheld. United States ex. rel. Donnelly v. Mulligan, U. S. Cir. Ct. of App., April 1, 1935.) See Note in Cornell Law Quarterly for April, 1935.
