(Special to THE SUN)
CHRISTCHURCH, Monday.
In an introxicated state, Joseph Peter, a dairy farmer of Rangiora, drove a car along Riccarton Road last Friday. After crashing into a fence he behaved violently when accosted by a constable. To-day, by Mr. C. R. Orr Walker, S.M., he was fined £25 and costs, and was prohibited from driving for 12 months.
On a charge of assaulting a constable accused was convicted and ordered to come up for sentence if called upon within 12 months, a special condition being that he abstain from all intoxicating liquor during that period. The police stated that Traynor was driving along the side channel with a flat tyre, and suddenly swung across the road to the opposite fence at right angles. When arrested he used violent language to the police, and kicked a constable when going out of the cells.
