By telegraph, Presa A'as’n, Copyright Received 10.52 p.m., Feb. 13. Sydney, Feb. 13,
Government has received confirmation of Willis’s dismissal, which was on the ground that there was no evidence showing that the magistrate had powers similar to a Bow Street magistrate. There was no local statute giving the magistrate Bpeoiai jurisdiction under the Fugitive Offenders Aot. The decision is farreaobiog, and creates a sanetuary in Natal until fresh legislation is passed.
