Military Tribunals – Arthur William GEDEN

The military applied for a review of the certificate granted to Arthur William Geden, married, a Badsey market gardener with 8 acres of land. Mr Roberts appeared for Geden, who maintained that his land is well cultivated; he admitted that he had not been much on the land lately, as he and Thould had been buying orchards.

Mr J Wythen Roberts (Messrs Smith & Roberts) appeared for Arthur William Geden (32), market gardener, Badsey, who has 8 acres of land, who appealed. The local Tribunal said that the appellant spent six months of the year dealing, but he denied this, and said he only spent three months of the year fruit buying, and this he had always done. Appellant is a married man with three children. He had been passed for general service.
