MOTORIST FINED £ls
INTOXICATED IN CHARGE OF CAB cracas issocuno* txlboruc.i WELLINGTON, September 13. In consequence of what a motorcyclist told a traffic inspector, the inspector got on the pillion seat and followed a car driven into Wellington from Hutt by Robert Dawson, a wire-, worker. The inspector stopped Dawson and took him to the police station, where Dawson was medically examined for intoxication. A doctor certified that he was unfit to be in charge of a car, but gave no detail of the tests. This was emphasised by counsel in the Court proceedings. Counsel urged that particular attention should, in the absence of such detail, be given to what the sub-inspector had said as to the man’s condition at the police station, which was that Dawson appeared somewhat normal, but slumped a little after the medical examination. Mr J. L. Stout, S.M., said it was not a case for imprisonment. He imposed a fine of £ls and cancelled Dawson’s licence for 12 months.
