Blewan, lath (North Canterbury and Weatland) Regiment-; third prize, 12/-, Corporal H. Fayen, 13th Regiment. One of the most successful items of the concert was a mock co'urt convened by the N.C.O.'s in; camp. All the staff sergeant-majors; were up "on the mat," charged with; the perpetration of various crimes which, in the opinion of the prosecutors, warranted immediate retribution.
