MUST LEAVE COUNTRY
FIRST STAGE OF JOURNEY BACK TO INDIA JAMUNA’S MAHOUT Pleading guilty a month ago to a charge of staying in New Zealand longer than the terms of his temporary immigration permit allowed, Ata Ali, once Jamuna’s mahout, appeared at the Police Court this morning after being remanded so that he would have a chance to sell his fruiterer’s business. Mr. McLiver appeared for Ali, described as an elephant trainer, aged 27, and asked for a further adjournment. The man had been trying to dispose of his business and raise enough money to get back to India but could only get the fare to Suva, which would at least take him out of thb country. Chief-Detective Hammond: The boat sails today. Counsel said that the man could not possibly go today but that,- by the next trip, his business difficulties might be resolved. “I think he is only fooling with us,” remarked Mr. F. K. Hunt, S.M., granting an adjournment of one month. “If he has not left the country by then he will get three months.”
