CUPS OF WHISKY
MOTOR-CYCLIST LOSES LICENCE FINE FOLLOWS ACCIDENT “A good Samaritan gave them whisky out of a cup,” said Sub-Inspec-tor McCarthy when Thomas Franklin Bradley was charged at the Police Court this morning with being intoxicated in charge of a motor-cycle. Bradley’s companion, who was riding on the pillion seat, fell on the road in the course of a journey from Tamaki and, according to the sub-inspector, Bradley was too drunk to help him. Described as a sheet-metal worker, aged 20, Bradley pleaded guilty to being intoxicated in charge of a motor-cycle in Mount St. John Avenue on Boxing Day. He was fined £lO and his licence was cancelled for 12 months. “The tAvo youths went to Tamaki, where they met a good Samaritan who gave them neat whisky out of a cup,” continued the sub-inspector. “On the way back to town, the pillion-rider fell off. It was at first thought that he was seriously injured, but he is all right now. Bradley was too drunk to help him or do anything else. Accused is quite a decent young fellow ordinarily.” “He is just as big a nuisance on a motor-cycle as he would be in a car,” commented the magistrate before imposing the penalty.
