DEFENCE ACT PROSECUTION.
FAILURE TO REGISTER. Wellington, June 30. The first case brought under the Defence Act of failing to register as a Territorial under universal obligation to be trained came before the Court to-day. Defendant, who pleaded guilty, said he had passed his eighteenth year and the reason he had not joined was because of his trade. He is a cabinetmaker. The Magistrate said that was not the slightest excuse. He would adjourn the case until Tuesday. If the defendant registered before that date probably he would not inflict any penalty, but he wanted defendant and others like him to distinctly understand that he would inflict a heavy penalty in future.
