THE TERRITORIALS.
THE OATH. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Chrislehurch, Last Night. The time of Mr. T. A. Bailey, S.M. at the Police Court to-day was chiefly occupied with dealing with a large batch of prosecutions under the Defence ActMost of the charges were for failing to render service. Mr. Cassidy appeared, for practically all the defendants. When the first case of failing to render service came on. His AVorship said that he would uphold Mr. Cassidy's contention, made the other day, that under the Defence Act the men were to be drafted from the general training section to the Territorials, and Parliament had to allocate the number required. Accordingly, he could not convict any young man who had not taken the oath of failing to render service, but those wiio had taken the oath had waived their rights in respect to the matter, and so could be convicted.
