A young New Zealander (says “ John Bull ”), of sft. niu., and corresponding girth, called on us recently to make a complaint. He came over from New Zealand with the intention of joining the Army, and he took a letter with him to the War Office from the AgentGeneral testifying to character, etc. To his surprise, he has now received a communication from the Agent-General informing him that he cannot be allowed to join the Army owing to “defective teeth.” Some of his back teeth, in the lower jaw, are past mending. He is keen for the service, strong as a lion, wears the South African medal with two clasps, could take an average recruit in each hand and knock their heads together, but he may not join the Army because some of his back teeth are defective. It seems odd.
