MILITARY SERVICE BOARD.
A COURT REPORTER'S CASK. CHIEF JUSTICE'S APPEAL PAILS, By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night.' 'At the sitting of the Military Service Board to-day, an appeal on behalf of H. E. Legrove, court reporter and shorthand writer at the Supreme Court, was supported by the Chief Justice. Sir Robert Stout said the whole position had changed from what it used to be, and the benefit that was frit from having the services of Legrove was that more cases could be got through than formerly. In addition, Legrove was not of first-class physical ability, and had been classed 01- Many men unfit for service hail been sent to England and had never got to the front at all, having had to be returned to New Zealand owing to unfitness. The board took time to consider itj decision, and intimated that it ha* looked at the case in all its aspects, while it regretted having to send away an apparently valuable officer of the Supreme Court, the call for men was so great that the board could not exempt on those grounds. The appeal would be dismissed, and leave granted until September 25.
