AGAIN REMANDED
MAN WHO SAILED TASMAN ALONE. APPEAL FOR RELEASE MADE BY COUNSEL. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) HOBART, April 6. “It is against the principles of our justice to seize a man and hold him indefinitely,” said counsel when making a plea in the Hobart Police Court today, for the release of Richard ! Humphreys. Counsel pointed out that Humphreys had been under arrest since the middle of March and he asked whether it was necessary to holdhim on a charge of stealing a jacket valued at £2. Accused had been given two years in a Borstal Institution and after serving eight months of the term left New Zealand by sailing a small yacht across the Tasman. Accused was remanded till tomorrow. An escort officer from New Zealand was present in court.
