He ha-d been asked by Mr. A. M. Goulding, S.M., why he bad deserted.. ( Accused added that he had not endeavoured to see the immjgration authorities in England because he had not thought it worthwhile. Another of the accused said he attempted to get'to New Zealand through legal channels. but had been told he would have to wait his turn at the end of a long waiting 'ist.
