LOCAL COURTS MARTIAL.
BRITISH GUNNER AND
·CHINESE SAPPER CHARGED.
Pat
A Court Martial was held in the R. A. Theatre, Victoria Barracks, this morning. The Court was com posed of Lieut.-Col. Clementi-Smith, 22nd Punjabis (President), Capt. S. L. Cohen, Manchester Regiment, and Lient. J. P. Jones, R.G.A.
The first prisoner, Gunner Godfrey. RGA, was charged (1) that be whilst on active service did absent himself from the barracks without leave on June 15, and (2) with being drunk.
Lieut. A. J. Wilcox, R.G.A., prose- cuted and the prisoner pleaded "guilty," to both charges.
Asked if he had anything to say on his own behalf, the prisoner said he enlisted in. October, 1914. He served 14 months and was afterwards discharged as medically unfit for further war service on December 22, 1915. He was given a letter by the: Record Officer, Dover, and told to apply to the nearest Police Station for his Discharged Soldier's Army Pass and Badge. He applied at Dewsbury Town Hall for the Pass and Badge but did not get them and in the mean- time he was engaged for a further period of service. That was in
May 1916. The priserer said he
bad been in detention for seven weeks awaiting trial and all he had to do was to throw himself at the mercy of the Court.
Reading the prisoner's record, Lieut. Wilcox said the prisoner had been five times drunk in the last one
·Year.
The Court retired to consider its decision, and it will be promulgated in due course,
Capt. D. R. Wahl. R. E. then charged a Chinese Sapper named Chow Kieu with (1) deserting from H. M.. service in November 1918, and (2) using certain articles of clothing when not on duty.
The prisoner pleaded not guilty to both charges.
Evidence was given to the effect that the prisoner had deserted for the last seven months, and went to Canton, returning last month and giving himself up to the Military authorities.
The defence was a complete denial of desertion, the prisoner pleading that he was kidnapped and detained in Canton during the whole period of his absence from duty. As soon as he was freed, he returned to Hong kong and gave himself up..
As in the other case, the decision of the Court will be promulgated in due course.
