THE CASE OF THE BARQUE GAZELLE.
We understand that Mr. J. C. Ellis, of Newcastle, the owner of the barque Gazoile, and one of the largest shipowner in New South Wales, hav instructed Mr. J. M. Speed, his solicitor h- re, to take steps to apply to have the n-cent d-ci«ion of the Supreme, Geavt reversed in the Cou't of Appeal at its November sittings. Mr. Ellis is one of the most respected members of the Legislative Assembly of New South Wales; and feels so hurt by tie imputation of smuggling, which he considers attaches itself to him so long as the ship is held by the New Zealand Government, that he intends to apply to the Privy Council, if necessary, before he will acknowledge the right of one colony thus to unwarrantably take forcible possession of property belonging to an innocent owner residing in another for an act which that owner cannot possibly either prevent or guard against. Mr. Speed has been instructed to reWn Mr. E, Hesketh, of this city, who will also be assisted by Mr. R, : Stout, of Dunedin.
