A DEFIANT YOUTH
BREACH OF DEFENCE ACT. MAGISTRATE’S WARNING. (Special to the Tunes.) Christchurch, September 3. “Of course you know how it will finish,” said a quick-speaking youth, T. Bariess, by name, in the Magistrate’s Court before Mr H. P. Lawry, S.M. “What?” asked the Magistrate, looking
up. “I will take my life if forced to go to drill,” replied Barless. “You will be fined a nominal penalty on each charge of 5/- and costs. If you continue to refuse to go to drill the fines will be increased. Now don’t be silly any more,” said the Magistrate. “I do enough hard work during the day without going to drill at night,” said Barless. “If there was a war I would go, but .1 do not think it necessary to go to drill low.”
