Others, on the contrary, regarding the conditions and signs of these times, and the extra-territorial activities in which foreign states have embarked so restlessly and widely, feel that the nation, however greatly against its wish, may become involved in controversies not unlike those which in the middle of the century caused very serious friction, but which the generation that saw the century open would have thought too remote for its concern, and certainly wholly beyond its power to influence.
He knows quite well, though he may not say so, that the Corot trees, though they do not dwell upon margins, are in spirit almost as extra-territorial as the rushes. In proof of this he very often cuts them down, out of the view, once for all. The view is better, as a view, without them.
" If an Englishman dies in Japan of disease or any other cause, his effects shall be handed over without fail. " Forced sales of cargo and violence shall not take place. " If one of the English should commit an offence, he should be sentenced by the English general according to the gravity of his offence."* *In this article, Ieyasu recognizes the principle of extra-territorial jurisdiction.

The sanctuaries of Christendom would be safeguarded by assigning to them an extra-territorial status such as is well-known to the law of nations. We should form a guard of honor about these sanctuaries, answering for the fulfilment of this duty with our existence. This guard of honor would be the great symbol of the solution of the Jewish Question after eighteen centuries of Jewish suffering.
The claim asserts an extra-territorial authority for the law of British prerogative, and assumes to exercise this extra-territorial authority, to the manifest injury and annoyance of the citizens and subjects of other states, on board their own vessels, on the high seas. Every merchant-vessel on the seas is rightfully considered as part of the territory of the country to which it belongs.
It befell when there was less provocation, under his successor; and the spark that changed thought into action was supplied by the Declaration of American Independence. It was the system of an international extra-territorial universal Whig, far transcending the English model by its simplicity and rigour.
Foreigners were at the same time not by the wish of the Japanese Government, but as the outcome of the pressure put upon Japan by the various Powers granted extra-territorial rights, that is to say they were exempt from the jurisdiction of the Japanese courts of law.
