RAGS AND RICHES.
OLD MAN’S HOARD. By Telegraph—Press Association NAPIER, August 6. A surprising discovery was made by the police, when they investigated the circumstances of an aged man living in an old disused flour mill at Clive, near Napier. The man was existing in deplorable conditions, evidently poverty-stricken, and had been given help by sympathetic residents. When he fell ill a doctor was called in. When ordered to the hospital, the man took with him a sugar sack, which he was reluctant to part with. When the sack was opened it was found to contain £360 in notes of various denominations up to £SO. A search of the dwelling place resulted in the discovery of a further £6 stowed in tins. The police deposited the money in a Bank.
