Law Moves Against Military Objectors
ATTACHMENT ORDER EMPLOYERS’ LIABILITY Following the refusal of the Presbyterian students, A. M. Richards and A. Miller, to pay fines imposed on them by Mr. F. K. Hunt, S.M., for not attending drill, the Magistrate’s Court has issued an attachment order against Miller’s employers. This requires the payment into cou rt of 15s a week until the fine and the costs, totalling £5 13s, have been cleared. By declining to pay the fine, both young men were liable to be imprisoned, but the attachment older alters Miller’s position. His employers become liable for clearing tile fine. Authority for the actiofi is given under the Defence Amendment Act of 1912. lu the case of Richards, who is a full-time theological student, and is not employed, no such order has been issued.
