Some little time ago Mr. S. E. M'Carthy, S.M., delivered judgment in. regard to the liability of men classified C 2 in the matter of attending territorial parades, | and held that such men were .exempt by reason of their classification from the parades. A young man, Harold L. Esau, seeing the judgment published! in the daily papers, considered that as he had I been classified C 2, the exemption applied equally to himself, and consequently attended no more parades. The Defence authorities this morning took action against Esau at the Magistrate's Court for failing to attend territorial parades^ but in accordance with his previous decision, Mr. S. E. McCarthy dismissed-the information. ' There are some tramway, passengers who look upon the evading of payment of fares as an accomplishment. Occasionally their ruses to pass unnoticed by the conductor are successful, sometimes they pass unscathed under the eyes of both conductor mvd inspector, but sometimes they do not. An elderly maa named Alfred Logan did not, with the result that a charge of failing to pay Iris tram faro when demanded was preferred against him at the Magistrate's Court this morinig. After hearing evidence, which was to the effect that the man boarded a Karori-bound car at Stewart Dawson'a corner and had travelled free to Park-street before the inspector made investigations, Mr. S. E. M'Carthy, S.M.. imposed a fine of £2, with costs '£1 17a 10a, in default twentyone days in gaol.
