O. F. NELSON TO SUE GENERAL RICHARDSON
EX PARTE APPLICATION REFUSED United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. Received Thursday, 7.35 p.m. APIA, Jan. 10. An ex parte application was hoard to-day in the high court of Wostorn Samoa on behalf of Olaf Frederick Nelson, formerly legislative councillor of Samoa, for leave to servo a summons and statement of claim out of Samoa and in New Zealand upon Brig-adier-General Richardson, former Administrator. Tho cause of action is that Nelson’s deportation was allegedly ultra vires and invalid. Judge McCarthy refused the order, on the ground of concurrent jurisdiction with New Zealand and as both parties were there, tho bringing of the case in Samoa involved avoidable expense.
