NO THIRD CHANCE
TRAVELLER TO BE SENT TO ROTO ROA Twice threatened with a term on Roto Roa, Robert Raeburn Xliller, appeared again at the Police Court this morning and admitted breaking his prohibition order on two occasions. Miller, a traveller aged 34, pleaded guilty to being found drunk in addition to the breaches of his order. “I am afraid he is a hopeless case,” commented Sub-Inspector McCarthy. ‘‘He has been twice threatened with tho Island and has no desire to go there. He has been out of work lately and the Salvation Army and Charitable Aid Board have been helping him.” The sub-inspector reminded the Court that when Xliller last appeared he had been told that he was getting his last chance. Captain Holmes, of the Salvation Army, assured the magistrate that there would be no difficulty in getting the man down to Roto Roa and a remand was made until to- mor.row to see if the necessary arrangements could be made. On the charge of drunkenness Xliller was lined 30s.
