I move amendment No. 83 :—
In sub-section (1), paragraph (a), line 26, before "as" to insert "and is rendering service".
If he were accepting pay and rendering service he would be considered to be a soldier subject to military law in the same way as if he were properly attested. When a person has accepted pay he is accepted under the bald provisions of the section and though he is neither attested nor re-engaged he will be subject to military law. But when a man has accepted pay for one week or a month and at the end of the month has ceased to receive it and is not rendering service, he ought not to be subject to military law.
