Permanent Pass

In his own defence, the accused stated that he was in possession of a permanent pass which entitled him to wear civilian clothes. His intention was to return to barracks later on that day.

Questioned by the prosecuting officer, accused said that as he was an absentee. he desired to return there during darkness because would be lens chance of his being discovered.

The reason why he did not return before September 26 was because he was taking a holiday.

In answer to the President of the Court, accused said that he was not aware that he had had to apply for a holiday when he wanted one. He also did not know that if he absent- ed himself for 21 daya, an enquiry would be held.

The decision of the Court will duly be promulgated.

The next case WAS one in which Pte. W. Stewart, K.O.S.B., was alleged to have struck Sergt. Doig of the same battalion on the night of June 8. He pleaded "Not Guilty" to the charge, but to the charge of ab- sence without leave accused ad mitted that he was at fault.

Sergt. Doig said in evidence that he was out on military police duty that night with two other lance corporals. At 10.25 p.m. he met the accused at Queen's-road Central. He noticed that the ac- cused was staggering and just as he had made up his mind to stop him, he recognised the accused as an absentee. He stopped the ac cused, and after having told the accused that he would be confin. ed, he turned round to give orders to the two military policemen who were wjh him, Recused then struck him in the mouth,

A Drunken Person The President pointed out to witness that a drunken person
