THE DAILY PROVINCE
MARCH 2, 1908

TEST CASE OF HINDUS NOW AT
VICTORIA.
------------------Provincial Government Has Consented to Action
Suggested by Dominion Government.

------------------Victoria, March 2.--(Special.)--The Dominion Government
officials intend to release three Hindus now in detention here for the
purpose of testing the Natal Act in a friendly way, and they have
requested the provincial Government to arrest the race(?) as soon as
they are liberated. The Dominion has advised the provincial
Government that in order to bring the Natal Act to a showdown in
the case of the Hindus the federal authorities will provide counsel
for the Hindus in the fight.
The provincial Government has consented to do as suggested
in order to determine the moot point of the effectiveness of the
Natal Act as against the Hindus.
