MARTIALLED
(Per Press Association.) AUCKLAND, October 7
It is not often that a court-martial takes place in Auckland, but on Tues^ day next a military tribunal will sit at Narrow Neck. Two Maori soldiers, members of the second reint'orcements,will be charged with desertion. One is alleged to have deserted while on leave and the. other is stated to have escaped from the ship. • Proceedings willbe of more than ordinary interest since an important witness will be a Maori occupying a high position who is alleged to have made utterances calculated to actuate the men in their desertion. The proceedings will be open. ,'■. _^
