'Russian Jews and Military Service
THE CASE OF A MINISTER AT FALKIRK
At a sitting of the Appeal Tribunal for the County of Stirling held last Friday, several appeals were heard from Russian subjects ...
[An] important case was the application by the Hebrew congregation of Falkirk for the exemption of their minister, who also acted as teacher to about forty children in the districts of Falkirk, Stirling, and Bonnybridge. He had also to slaughter cattle and seal the meat. A letter was read from the Chief Rabbi, stating that the gentleman in question had been a minister before the date of the Convention, and was therefore entitled to exemption. The appeal was refused, but two months were given in order that the case might be taken before the Central Court. In each of the other "Russian subject" cases, the appeal was refused'.
