THE BANNED HINDUS
CASE IN THE APPEAL COTIRT. By Telegraph-Frew Aesociation-Copyright Victoria, 8.C., June 29. In the Komagata Mara caee, presented to the Court of Appeal, tho Court did not appear to agreo with tho lawyer for the Hindus on any important points, though no ruling wa-s made. Thoir Lordships took issue on some technical points, and appeared to lean towards getting a commqn-senso view of the matter. The chief reason tho Hindus ask to be landed is that thoy are really farmers, nnd not labourers, though tho Court of Inquiry held by tho Immigration officials held that they could only bo classed as labourers. Canada ennnot impose n continuous journey from India clause, hecauso Canada cannot legislate how n, British subject may spend his timo before coming to Canada, nnd that the Dominion Ooversment could no more legislate to keep labourers out of British Columbia than to keep doctors out of Nova_ Scotia. That prohibition must bo nation-wide.
