In purported pursuance of that rection on Saturday last. The order stated that Whereas it was deemed desirable that the pris:per should not reside is the Colony for fio years he is hereby ordered to leave the Coloby, within two days of ibi: date!" (roth | Augu) The order was served on the prison- er on the 13th August, and he was detained in Police cosindy wil he should leave the Colony. The grounds on which the order was made out was because the pilsener was said to be associated with an unlawful sciety for bringing men into the Colony to whim false premises are made for purposes of emigra flion. That might mean anything it might refer to an illegal partnership. His argument was that prisoner had been giv a no opponidel ty to defend bims.
