Volunteers, and apparently al- tested men Dot yet posted to a unit, cannot claim the protection afforded to officers and men of H.M.Forces under the new Courly Emergency Powers Act of May last.
Thus decided Mr. Justice Eve in the Chancery Division. "I think," he said, "the true con- straction of this portion of the Act is this:-
"It includes every person sub. jeat to Military Law daring the time that he is so subject, and does not include a person who hee offered to be subject to military law until after the Crown should see fit to call upon him."
The point was raiesd by John Baptiste d'Ardenne, a septuagena risa member of the Corps of Citizens, of the Wickham Arms Brockley-road, public-house.
Deptford. He sought to have met saide a summons in connection with a contract entered into in November, 1914.
Counsel for the other side re marked that d'Ardenne could rotign from the corps whenever he liked.
Mr. Justice Eve: I know of a man who resigned from a Volup. teer Corps because the man who stood behind him spat on hie trouiste. (Laughter.)
