LIQUOR IN FORT
IMMEDIATE INQUIRY ORDERED. , ALLEGATIONS AT COURT MARTIAL. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH. This Day. An immediate inquiry has been ordered by Brigadier O. H. Mead, officer commanding the Southern Military District, into statements made at a court-martial at Battery Point yesterday that eighty bottles of beer were consumed in one afternoon at a fort. A court of inquiry has already been set up to conduct an investigation. Brigadier Mead pointed out today that there was no indication in the evidence prepared for the court-martial that liquor had been consumed at the fort, and it was only when this was revealed by cross-examination and in defence that the allegation became known.
