CASE ADJOURNED

QUESTION OF ENLISTMENT JUDGMENT SUMMONS HEARING When Mr C. A. Suckling appeared for a judgment creditor in the Magistrate's Court on Wednesday he told Mr E. L. Walton, v S.M., that the debtor, D. Jamieson, had informed the Court at last month's sitting that he had enlisted and had been passed as fit at a subsequent medical examination. The creditor* said Mr Suckling, had reason to believe that this Avas not correct and had taken out a second judgment summons. Counsel asked Jamieson whether he had been passed as fit and defendant replied that what he had said at the previous hearing was true and produced a registration, form from the Army Office at Paeroa. The Magistrate observed that* such forms were issued when recruits had passed. Mr Suckling said he had it on reliable authority that defendant had not passed the medical board. The Magistrate interrupted to ask counsel about the nature of the authority and Mr Suckling said be had it from a local man who /was present at the same examination. Counsel said he would like an op* portunity to get evidence and the case was adjourned until April. 10-
