THE KNYVETT CASE.
DEPUTATION TO THE PREMIER. There is a likelihood of the Xhyvett Defence Committee Waiting upon the Prime Minister while in Auckland, and urging that something be immediately done by the Defence Department to enable ex-Captain ELnyvett to secure a fresh trial. Application was made some time ago, under the terms of the "Knyvett clause" in the , Defence Act, .as amended last session, and- the whole matter was referred-to Major-General Godlev, together with a- request for a new trial and a fresh statement of the charges. The commandant has now had the "papers before him for some time, and t lie Auckland committee is waiting for an official intimation of what is to be done. If no. information is received before the Prime Minister leaves Auckland next week, the defence committee will ask permission to wait upon him as a deputation upon the matter.
