SENTENCES WILL STAND
RIGHTS OF DIVINITY STUDENTS. CASE OF MILITARY DEFAULTERS. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Christchurch, Last Night, The Government’s decision in regard to the two objectors to military service, Alan M. Richards and Alexander Miller, was announced by Sir Joseph Ward today. The sentences, which included loss of civil rights for ten years, would stand. It would be improper, said Sir Joseph, to interfere with the course of the law, and the decisions of magistrates would stand. Instructions would be issued, however, that in future students of Divinity would have the right, upon application to a magistrate, to obtain exemption from military service.
