THE SEIZURE OF THE GAZELLE.
The Owner Indignant. (per press association.) AUCKLAND, This day. Mr J. E. Ellis of Newcastle, owner of the barque Gazelle, and one of the largest ship owners in New South Wales has instructed Mr Speed, solicitor here, to take steps to apply to have the! recent decision of the Supreme Court reviewed in the Court of Appeal. Mr Ellis is a member of the New Legislative Assembly of New South Wales, 1 and feels hurt by the imputation of smuggling which he considers attaches itself to him so long ns the ship is held by the New Zealand Government. He intends to apply to the Privy Council before he will acknowledge the right of the colony to take forcible possession of property belonging to an innocent owner for an act; which that owner cannot possibly either prevent or guard against. Mr Speed has been instructed to retain Mr Hesketh of this city, who will be assisted by Mr Stoat, of Dunedin.
