Remarking that local youths had been similarly penalised for wearing a military greatcoat, and that, as defendant worked for the Americans he apparently would not be without means, Mr. Raymond Ferner, S.M., fined George Howell, of Takahue, £5 for that offence in the Kaitaia Court. A constable said that Howell, wh*. admitted that he had never been a member of the armed forces, haci been seen in Auckland wearing a military greatcoat.

Reynolds said" "He was not parading in Queen Street or showing off a uniform to which'he had no right."
