Syllabus

<p>Extradition — Expenses chargeable to a county — “ State ” defined.</p> <p>The word “ state,” as used in section 1 of the Criminal Code of March 31, 1860, P. L. 427, providing for the allowance of expenses of extradition which shall be paid out of the treasury of the county where the offense is charged to have been committed, clearly refers to states of the Union; it does not include a foreign county or province; hence it follows that no extradition expenses can be collected from a county for a fugitive transported into said county from Canada.</p>
