WIG AND GOWN DISCARDED
BARRISTER PLEADS IN MILITARY UNIFORM [Per United Press Association.] - WELLINGTON, September 15. The Court of Appeal to-day presented the unusual sight of a barrister appearing in military uniform instead of the customary wig and gown. Mr P. C. Jordan, of Auckland, counsel for one of-the parties before the court, is a lance-bombardier in the Ist Anti-air-craft Group of the New Zealand Artillery, and has been called up for duty. He obtained leave from the military authorities to appear to-day, as he was counsel in the Supreme Court in the action, but being subject to military law is not permitted to remove his uniform.
