Motorist Lays Complaint, But is Himself Charged
(By Telegraph
CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. Arthur Stanley Buchanan drove his car to the police station to lay a complaint against an hotelkecper. It was an ill-advised trip, for this morning he appeared iu the Magistrate Js Court and pleaded guilty to being intoxicated iu charge of a car iu Oxford Terrace. Mr. E. C. Levvey, S.M., iined Buchanan £10 and costs, eanceiled and endorsed his licence, and declared him uniit to hold a licence for twelve months. ''This young man got himself into this mix-up as the result of an excess of alcohol," said Sub-Inspeco'cr McLean. ' ' He drove to the police station to lay a complaint against an hotelkeeper, and his condition was detected then. I think his stubborn teinper was responsible." "It was a sort of foolish trick," counsel observed. Buchanan, he said, had been at a wedding breakfast, but he did not consider he was intoxicated, and it was to uphold this contention that he drove to the police station.
