CHINESE SEAMEN
NEW ZEALAND COURT NO JURISDICTION. By Telegraph—Press Association. Dunediu, Saturday. Mr. Bartholomew, S.M., gave his decision this morning in the Walkurc case, holding that the North German Confederation had lost its personal identity, so there was no nation to which the Gazette notice could apply. Therefore the court had no jurisdiction, so the. information was dismissed. An interesting point then cropped up, viz., as tn what would be done to the men after being discharged from custody. Mr. •Bartholomew pointed out that'under the Immigration Restriction Act the police could put the men on the ship. It is contended in legal circles that if action is taken under Habeas Corpus the police could be prevented putting the men on board.
