DEPRIVED OF CIVIL RIGHTS
MAN WHO REFUSES TO TRAIN APPLICATIONS FOR EXEMPTION. THREE GIVEN ALTERNATIVE WORK By Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland, Last Night. Five applications were received for exemption from drill and three were granted on condition that the applicants did alternative training at the Presbyterian by Mr. Cutten, S.M., in the Magistrate’s Court to-day. “We will not do alternative service,” said John N. and Neil N. McDougall, the remaining two applicants. The magistrate: Very well; your applications will be refused. That is quite easy; you may go. Captain .Wales asked Mr. Cutten to deprive the offender of his civil rights when Walter Leslie Harlick was charged with failing to attend drill, “He has been fined four times before, but still stays aw'ay,” said Captain Wales. “Previously he was fined £5 every year, and he. regarded that as the annual cost of his ‘training.’ Now we are using a Lewis gun on him, and he is finding it a bit expensive.” Harlick was deprived of his civil rights for a period of six years.
