A COURT-MARTIAL.
A PECULIAR COINCIDENCE. From Our Wellington Correspondent. Wellington, Sept. 28. A court-martial that is proceeding in the case of a soldier who efesrged a ■medical officer with drunkenness gave members of Parliament a chance to raise jigain the old question of an alleged Gerpan element in the camps. It is a coincidence that the medical officer concerned, and also the officer who is prosecuting in the charges against the soldier, Siave foreign sounding names. The Defence Minister defended his officers warmly, as usual, but admitted that the prosecuting, officer was the son of a naturalised German. He vouched for the pfficer's loyalty. Sir James Allen's unswerving loyalty to his officers is an Ladmirable virtue that the House appears 'sometimes to find it hard to endure.
