A Prohibited Immigrant.--The latest undesirable who is to be deported by order of the Minister for Customs is Joseph Seleno, of Italian birth, a native of Turin, Italy. In December, 1911, Seleno, figuring in an affray at a hotel at Whim Creek, stabbed another European named Darlington in the neck. Darlington succumbed, and Seleno was sentenced to imprisonment for three years on a charge of manslaughter. He began to serve the sentence in March, 1912, and on June 23 last he was released from prison. The dictation test was applied to him, and he failed. The order authorising his deportation has been received by the Collector of Customs at Fremantle, and Seleno is being detained at the Fremantle Gaol until the departure of the Singapore boat which is to take him from the Commonwealth.
