BANISHMENT WITHDRAWN.
STRUCK OFF DEFAULTERS LIST A young man Louis David Nixon, who . had been banished from New Zealand for ten years as a military defaulter, appealed before Mr J. E. Wilson b.il., in the. Police Court, at Auckland, last week, on a charge o having returned to New Zealand before the expiration of his terms Ot exile. Mr Moody explained that Nix on was in Australia when called up for service, and was gazetted as a military defaultei under the Service Amendment Act, 1918. He returned to New Zealand early thus year, and was arrested and courfcmartialled. In the circumstances he was honourably acquitted, but as he was still gazetted as a defaulter he was. subject to banishment. He was brought before Mr J. E. Wilson last April, and remanded until an. appeal could be made to the Minister for Defence. Now information has been received from the Minister, that a Gazette notice had been issued officially deleting defendant’s name from the defaulters list. The police charge was therefore withdrawn, and defendant was discharged.
