A YEAR AT ROTO ROA.
SPOILING A MARRIAGE.
Michael: Connolly, when brought before j Mr. E. C. Cutten. S.M., at the Police Court I yesterday, admitted thai he had committed i a breach of his ; prohibition order, but denied : that he was drunk whilst in charge ! of a horse and cart. The arresting constable said he found,, him, walking backwards along Customs-street f beckoning 'his horse to follow him/ an invitation » the animal seemed to misunderstand, for he narrowly escaped colliding with a Heme Bay car. Connolly was too far away to i have any control over his horse, 5 and, indeed, he had very little control over himself. The sub-inspector produced. list of previous convictions, and remarked that ; the distance between Connolly and Roto Roa seemed to, be rapidly decreasing. X" If you send me to Roto Roa," exdaimed the accused excitedly, "You'll ' spoil' my marriage, and when I come out I'll be as bad' as ever." But the magistrate 7 , was obdurate, and Connolly was. sent do will: for a year. , ; - ,;';>.>.:■.•'; ■ '• : ..'^< ; '^
