The Hon. Mr C. G. Perdue, Acting Commissioner of Police, and Mr E. C. Luscombe, Acting Superintendent of Police, were cited as defendants in a case brought by Mrs Mabel Evelyn Blair, of 12 Broadwood Road, before the Chief Justice, Sir Atholl MacGregor, in the Supreme Court this morning, to test the legality of the evacuation order against British women, and children resident in the Colony.
