INTOXICATED DRIVER CALLS AT POLICE STATION.
AND GETS LOCKED UP,
Norman Tiimcy was charged at the Wanganui Court last week with being in a state of intoxication while iu charge of a motor-ear in Bell Street, on February 13 (says the Herald).
Senior-Sergeant McLean said that defendant attended the races and had some liquor. He had driven in with his wife and two children. Later in the evening he missed his wife through a misunderstanding, and became very angry, so he drove the car with the two children to the Police Station. When the Senior-Sergeant came on the scene he noticed that defendant was the worse of liquor and deemed it inadvisable for Tinncy to drive the children away in the car, so lie was locked up for the liight. After inquiry into his circumstances the Magistrate, Mr. J. H. Salmon, said it was usual in these cases to impose a heavy penalty. In this ease it would press heavily on the wife and family, so he would impose a line of £lO, and the license would be cancelled for two years and defendant would be required to take out a prohibition order.
