R. Orr Walker, S.M., in the Police Court yesterday. Acting-Detective-Sergeant Aplin said there was no reason for accused to steal.

Counsel said accused had been subjected to temptation through being shown the money, but ho could offer no explanation for his offence. If given a chance, he would get work in the bush.
