ACTION DECLARED ILLEGAL.
PRETORIA, January 28. When the application for restraint was renewed in the Supreme Court, th© departure of 'he deported leaders was announced. The Court allowed counsel for the deported men to apply for an attachment of the officials concerned for contempt. Mr Justice Wessels said he regretted that he had not sufficient information on Tuesday or he would havo granted an order restraining tho Government from deporting the strike leaders. If the Government chose to use force and commit an illegal act, no Court could stop it. The Government was acting invalidly if it locked up men and refused them their right as citizens to appeal to the Courts, but the Government's use of force was a matter for which it was responsible to thel citizens.
