COURT-MARTIAL.
FIRST UNDER DEFENCE ACT. Gisborne, July 10. The first court-martial held under the new Defence scheme commenced to-day, when ten youths, members of the A squadron of the 9th East Coast Mounted Rifles, were charged with wilful defiance of authority by refusing to number off when ordered to do sb. In the cases so far called, the defendants have pleaded guilty, and were informed that their sentences would be forwarded to headquarters before being made public. Counsel appeared attired in Supreme Court robes, and the prisoners were brought before the court under military guard.
