MILITARY TRAINING.
OBJECTORS REFUSE ALTERNA TIVE SERVICE.
By Telegraph—Press Association. AUCKLAND, December IC.
Five applications were received for exemption from drill, and three were granted. on condition that the applicants did alternative training at the Presbyterian Orphanage, by Mr E. C. Cutten, S.M., in the Magistrate’s Court. .
“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.” CIVIL RIGHT FORFEITED.
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 away,” said Captain Wales. Previously he was fined £5 every year, and he regarded that as the annual cost of his training. Nov/ we’re using a Lewis gun on him, and lie's finding it a bit expensive. Harlick was deprived of his civil rights for a period of six years.
