Petersen'S Jaunt

jyjARIUS PETERSEN is still re- ■ gretting that he continued his Palmerston North party all the way to Wellington, fqp;:lt cost him twenty of the best and his driver's license. Peterson began m Palmerston North on the Sunday and his car was driven to Wellington by a good friend who had not looked on his liquor as long as Marius. Arrived m the city, the party went out to Kilbirnie and m that staid highway, Wellington Road, Petersen was found sitting m the car with a "lady friend." The said lady was Ann Lund, who possesses a healthy list of offences and was fined £2 for drunkenness, with the alternative of spending 14 days m the cells. Petersen, however did not get off so lightly. This class of offence calls for a heavy fine and cancellation of the license," said Magistrate Salmon, gazing at the charge-sheet, which recorded, that Petersen had been found drunk m charge of a motor-car. After paying the £20 demanded of him, Petersen will still have to wait sixteen months before he Is able to pilot hts car again.
