DEFAULTERS' LIST.

V TO TUB IDITOIi. Sir,—-The instances which you published on .Saturday showing mistakes in tho defaulters’ list suggest that tho Government compiled the list without proper inqua-y. lt is a fi i lockin slate , a soldier should have been killed m Franco mid still have Jus name appear in tho defaulters’ list nearly a year alter his death. The Hornby case is also inexeusable. What inquiries aro made before the nauies arc* published, and is the soldier’s family approached P I think that notice should be given to tho lamilies concerned, so that they yimild throw light on the apparent default, before the stigma s east on the relatives. There is something seriously wrung with a system which posts soldiers on active service as defaulters.—l am, etc., SYMPATHISER.
