In a prosecution under the Territorial Defence Act in the Police Court, in which a youth was charged with failing to register for Senior Cadet instruction, the defence raised was that the lad was a statutory alien, his father having gone to U.S.A. in 1913 with his family, and been compelled, when ho took up land there, to become a naturalised American. Though he returned to New Zealand in 1914 ho had never taken measures to revoke this naturalisation.
