PROHIBITED IMMIGRANT.
STOWAWAY TO BE DEPORTED. By Telegraph—Press Association. WELLINGTON, July 23. A stowaway named Peter Fodovich (S 3), who arrived by the Ulimaroa, told a story of hard times in Australia when he appeared before Mr Page, S.M., in the Magistrate’s Court, charged with being a prohibited immigrant, and with stowing away. Through an interpreter, Fodovich said he thought he would find here some countrymen who would help him. He promised to be loyal and work hard if he could stay. Mr Paul, Collector of Customs, said accused was a Jugo-Slav, and was a prohibited immigrant. He would not consider Fodovich’s staying in New Zealand under any circumstances. Mr Paul suggested that accused should be deported by the Ulimaroa on Friday, and as he had no money the ship would have to bear the expense, as it was liable in law to do.
Accused was ordered to be deported, he to remain in custody in the meantime.
