WOULD-BE DESERTER.
Auckland, April 11, At the Police Court to-day, Thomas McGee, a reservist, was sentenced to eleven months’ imprisonment for attempting to leave the Dominion without a permit, the sentence to be concurrent with that imposed recently by court-martial for deserting from the reserve. William Ennis, boatswain of the overseas steamer on which McGee was secreted, was convicted of assisting in the attempt. As he had already been gaoled for six weeks, a further six weeks was imposed. A coloured man, named Lopez, convicted of assisting, also had been in gaol for six weeks. He was sentenced to fourteen days.
