APPEAL COURT.
CASES OF SEMFLE AND OTIIEKS. By Telegraph— Press Association. Wellington, March 2S Arguing for the Crown in the sedition cases, the Solicitor-General said that if the Military Service Act, 191U, was ultra vires, there was sufficient seditions tendency in the utterances to justify convictions.
Dealing with the question of the validity of the Military Service Act, he said the Crown relied on section 177 of the Imperial Army Act, 1881, which gave power to colonial Legislatures to pass Acts to send troops abroad, but apart from that the Constitution Act gave ample power. So far as the validity of the regulations was concerned, they had not made any act abroad an ofl'ence. Tliey were therefore within the competency of the Legislature.
Mr. Hutchinson briefly replied. The court reserved its decision, and adjourned till 10.30 to-morrow.
