He was later arrested in an outhouse, where the money was found concealed on top of a tank. Accused was admittedly very intoxicated at the time. He appealed to the : bench to send him to Roto Roa Island. The magistrate said that if accused went to the island he would not be com- , polled to do any work, and it was work , he needed, to get the drink out of his sys- • . tern.
