WATSON'S

Court Dispute Over Ship

A submission that the Court should allow his application to cross-examine Mr Kwee Djie Hoo, Indonesian Consul-General in Hongkong, and Major Pomoeradjo, said to be a diplomatic courier of the Indonesian Government, was made by Mr Brook A. Bernacchi when hearing of a motion by the Indonesian Government continued before Mr Justice Reece, Puisne Judge, in the Admiralty Jurisdiction of the Supreme Court this morning.

Leading Counsel for the Indonesian Govern- ment submitted on Tuesday that these two officials were immune from being summoned for cross- examination on the ground of their diplomatic status.
