PAKATOA PREFERRED
COOK DOES NOT FANCY GAOL REMAND UNTIL WEDNESDAY Gao! as a residence does not appeal to Mary Hodson, whu> is so keen to spend a term on Pakatoa Island that she told the magistrate at the Police Court this morning exactly when the boat sailed. JJODSON, alias Cuthfield, a cook, aged 41, pleaded guilty of being found drunk in Victoria Street and breaking the terms of her prohibition order. She admitted obtaining liquor during the currency of her order and entering a licensed house. Sub-Inspector McCarthy explained that ITodson wished to go to the inebriates’ island. Major Gordon was unfortunately not at the Supreme Court, but it was believed that she regarded the application with favour. “Hodson says that once she starts drinking she can’t stop without outside assistance,” added the subinspector. Mr. F. K. Hunt, S.M., suggested a remand until Wednesday, but Hodson pointed out that the boat for Pakatoa sailed today. The Magistrate: There are certain formalities before you can go. I am not sure that three months up above might not be the best for you. Hodson: I would rather go to the island. The Magistrate: I don’t doubt that. The remand was made.
