Several hundred Jewish spectators were unable to galu admittance to the heavily-guarded court room in Jerusalem today when the legal bat- tle to decide the fate of the latest batch of illegal Jewish immigrants opened in the High Court of Justice.
The small court was crowded long before the three British judges, led by the Chief Justice, Sir William FitzGerald, took their seats on the bench. Mr. Edward Goitein, Jewish barrister, submitted a petition asking the court to issue writs of Habeas Corpus "releasing 4,000 immi- grants' from unlawful custody."
