Volunteer Items
Members of the Manchester Rifles are reminded that all arms and accoutrements in their possession must be produced at the muster parade, on Friday night, at the barracks. A case is reported in the Wairarapa Daily Times, where a man named J. Budd was charged with not returning arms and accoutrements, the property of the Masterton Rifle corps, his name having been struck off the roll. The prosecutor said he did not know what the accused meant by detaining these. The penalty was a heavy one, being imprisonment without the option of a fine. His Worship said that two months imprisonment was the penalty, but if security were given he would defer sentence to give the accused time to return the arms and accoutrements. The accused was told that unless the articles were brought into Court, and costs paid in one week, imprisonment would then follow.
