MILITARY SERVICE.
A TERRITORIAL'S OBLIGATION. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Dunedin, July 15. Mr. Bartholomew. S.M., gave judgment in the case under the Defence Act in which a member of the Expeditionary (Force, Class C2, was charged with failing to render personal service with the Territorials. When the case was heard, it was stated that the Defence Department disagreed with the ruling recently given > by Mr. M'Carthy, S.M., the Department j maintaining that the Defence Act of j 1900 with the Expeditionary Force Act ' and Military Service Act made the Expeditionary Force a part of the Defence : Force of the Dominion. Therefore, if a | Territorial was drawn in the ballot and classed 02, he was still liable for train- ' ing. Defendant contended that as a , member of the Expeditionary Force he I Was free from such service. Mr. Bartholomew, hi entering a conviction, said the fact that defendant was classed 02 was not of itself proof of unfitness to render personal service, and there was ; nothing to prevent the obligation under j the Act from operating in his case.
