It was just as serious for a man to desert after getting leave as it was to desert straight from the Station, because in such cases a man obtained his leave under false pretences, that was, when he obtained his leave he had no in- tentions whatever of returning after his leave expired..
His Worship asked if the attempt to dissuade the witnesses from at tending court was by force or threats.
In reply to a further question, Mr. Sparrow intimated that if a man desired to resign he would have to pay one month's salary for every year no completed. His application, of course, might be refused or it might be considered.
Addressing the defendant, his Worship pointed out that the Gov- ernment had been put to a good deal of expense in training men like' the defendant, and if he de- serted after receiving his training, it was a great loss to the Govern- ment.
To Mr. Sparrow, his Worship said he thought it was a case for a fine. but the officer replied that de fendant had made no attempt to return. If he had returned after a day or even a week after his leave expired, he would have been dealt with departmentally and any ex- cuse he might advance would have been considered. It was necessary to maintain strict discipline; other- wise the offence would become a frequent occurrence. There had been about five cases of desertion during the past year or so,
Sentence of one month's hard labour was imposed.
