Military Defaulters List.—Under Expeditionary Forces Amendment Act, 1918.
IN pursuance of section 8 of the Expeditionary Forces Amendment Act, 1918, I, James Allen, Minister of Defence for the Dominion of New Zealand, have caused to be prepared and now publish in the Gazette the following list of military defaulters, and I declare such list to be the Military Defaulters List under the said Act.
It is hereby publicly notified that the men whose names appear on the Military Defaulters List are subject under the said Act to the following disqualifications and penalties:—
-
They are deprived of civil rights for ten years from the 10th day of December, 1918, and are therefore incapable—
(a.) Of being appointed to, or of continuing to hold, any office or employment in the service of the Crown, or of any local or other public authority:
(b.) Of being elected or appointed, or of continuing to hold office, as a member of either House of Parliament, or as a member of any local or other public authority:
(c.) Of being enrolled as an elector or of voting at an election of members of either House of Parliament or of members of any local or other public authority. -
If any military defaulter was out of New Zealand on the 10th day of December, 1918, he is prohibited for ten years from returning to New Zealand.
-
Military defaulters are prohibited for ten years from changing their names—that is to say, from assuming or using or continuing to assume or use any name other than that by which they are described in the Military Defaulters List.
-
Any military defaulter who commits a breach of any of the foregoing provisions is liable, on summary conviction, to imprisonment for twelve months.
It is hereby further notified that any man whose name appears on the Military Defaulters List may, within three months after the gazetting of that list, appeal to a Magistrate in manner prescribed by regulations on the ground that his name has been inserted in the list in error. Form of notice of appeal may be obtained from any post-office, police-station, or Defence Office.
Dated this ninth day of May, 1919.
J. ALLEN,
Minister of Defence.
