MOTORING FATALITY
DRIVER IMPRISONED,
Hamilton, February 2(5.
As sequel to a fatal accident on the Te Awamutu-Olmupo road on the evening of December 12, when a motor lorry which was returning to Hamilton from the Te Awamutu races, upset, killing Ernest Thomas White, one of the occupants, and breaking both legs of another occupant, Leonard Charles Davis was charged in the Supreme Court that, in a state of intoxication whilst in charge of the motor lorry, he caused the death of White. The jury returned a verdict of guilty, with a strong recommendation to mercy on account of accused’s previous excellent character and sober habits. Six months’ imprisonment was imposed.
