i ] THE CAUDIN CASE
Per Press .Association
Wellington, Last Night
Legal proceedings have been instituted to secure the release of Mr F. E. Gaudin, who was sentenced by the military tribunal in Samoa to ftvt? years' detention for various offences, including conveying correspondence for German residents of the islands. The legalities will take the form of an application for a. writ of habeas corpus, and the grounds for the application are that the military tribunal which imposes the penalty on Gaudin was not competent to sentence in the manner it did. The matter is to be argued at the Supreme Court to-morrow before the Chief Justice and another judge. HICH COMMISSIONERS REPORT.
