Hamilton was not drunk but the woman had had too much liquor. The magistrate said: “There’s only one thing to do with this man and that is to prohibit him from driving. He is not fit to drive and, moreover, there is a very unsavoury aspect of the case. Defendant is fined £2O and costs and his licence cancelled. He is prohibited from getting another for two years. If he comes before the court again with his record he will go to gaol.”
