Sub-Inspector Martin said that Constable Ankin3 saw the accused in the vicinity of the Terminus Hotel about S.do p.m. yesterday walking along arm in arm.with a man named Ash. They were both in a drunken condition. The constable saw Phillips get into his car and start it up. He then arrested the accused and his companion, and took them to the police station. Dr. Pattie was called at the request of the accused, and he said that Phillips was not in a fit condition to drive a motorvehicle. At the same, time the police called another doctor, Dr. Wright, and ho also said that Phillips was intoxicated. The accused, said the SubInspector, had been brought to the Taranaki Street Police Station about six months ago for-being intoxicated in charge of a car, but he received the benelit of the doubt on that occasion and was not prosecuted. The Magistrate gave Phillips two mouths in which to find the money to pay the- fine. .'.•">■-■.■.
