[5] Described by a contemporary newspaper as a "very dashing left-handed bat",[6] Arthur Rolleston had little success in his brief first-class career, totalling only 16 runs in his two matches.

[7] Rolleston worked as a lawyer, mostly in Christchurch but also later in the Chatham Islands.

He died aged 50 after striking his head when he fell in the street while visiting Wellington.
