CHRISTCHURCH, 28th August. At the Magistrate's Court to-day Reginald Raymond Smith, bootmaker, aged 23, was ■ sentenced to three months' imprisonment for failing to enrol under the Military Servico Act. Sub-lnspccioi-Mullany said the case was a very bad one, for the accused was the most persistent shirker he had had to deal with. He had steadfastly evaded having his name recorded. With a view to escaping enrolment he had been dodging about from Christchurch to Oamaru and back again, and to many different places, and had only been arrested that day.
