THE CAUDIN CASE.
HABEAS CORPUS WRIT REFUSED Per Press Association, Wellington, February 16. Judgment was given at .the Supremo Court in the Gaudin case. The Court refused on all grounds the application for a habeas corpus writ. His Honor the Chief Justice (Sir Robert Stout), and Mr Justice Edwards held that the Supreme Court had no jurisdiction to interfere with a sentence by a military court equally constituted in Samoa. The question whether the prisoner was illegally arrested at Auckland did not affect the issue. The prisoner had no right to be tried under the Army Act, having no military standing with regard to the Forces in Samoa, who did right, in detaining, the prisoner in New Zealand through power given by Regulation 12 made by the Governor Wider the War Regulations Act, 1914. No costs jyere allowed. Sir John Findlay, K.C., appeared for petitioner, and the Attorney-Gen-eral for the.-Crown.
