Ib under (Judication in I he civil t.mrts of Sue its stales and contends that the American government's, demand for he consular agents release ha no nundation or -precedent in Interna-lonal law. Some new angit-s of the Mexican Howpoints on the Jenkins case hitherto, unpublished In the United Stales re- reYeaterr.

vThe "tfndeiWr me iexican argument is to separate the enklna case, into two phases: Klrst, the In which the Oi-sular agents was' kidnaped by indits and held for ransom, ami last, lis subsequent arrest and imprison-ivent by the civil authorities of Pu-lila on a charge of having "conniv-1" with tin bandits. The note at land deala with the latter phase ex-luslvely. It points out that Jenkins was first ield under what is known to the Mex; an penal code as "preventative lin-irlsoiiment." This provision covers a tuatiou in-which a person is bus-octed of complicity in u. criminal -t. Ho subsequently wan held 'under provision covering "formal" lm-r4unmcnt which under the Mexican enal code applies when a magistrate elicves there is sufflicent evidence to stahlish thai a crime has been com-' iltted.
