(From Yesterday s Late Edition. >
MAGISTRATE ADJOURNS DRILL CASES PRESBYTERIANS IN COURT Thirteen applications for exemption from drill were made before Mr. F. K. Hunt, S.M., at the Magistrate's Court yesterday. The applicants included Alex Miller and A. M. Richards, the Presbyterian divinity students whose determined refusal to attend parade resulted in their being fined £5 by the same mag istrate when their civil rights were cancelled for 10 years. “We had better adjourn these until Parliament decides what is to be done.” said the magistrate, when W. K. Byrt. the first of several Presbyterians who wished for exemption on account of religious belief, appeared in support of his application. Captain Wales: The Address-in-Reply debate is finished now. The adjournment was made until October 9. V. J. Cleave was granted exemption on the grounds of hardship, also A. D. Harris, a farm-worker who was told to complete his training at the end of the year. Brian Knight, a Quaker, was granted exemption on the grounds of religious belief.
