  Kaplan recently proposed a novel lattice chiral gauge theory in which the
bare theory is defined on $(2n+1)$-dimensions, but the continuum theory emerges
in $2n$-dimensions. We explore whether the resulting theory reproduces all the
features of continuum chiral gauge theory in the case of two-dimensional axial
Schwinger model. We find that one can arrange for the two-dimensional
perturbation expansion to be reproduced successfully. However, the theory fails
to reproduce the 2-dimensional fermion nonconservation.
