BLIND LED BLIND
INTOXICATED MOTORIST GAOLED NO LICENCE FOR FIVE YEARS From Our Oxen. Correspondent ROTORUA, Today. In the Rotorua Police Court today George Daly, for driving a car while intoxicated and without a licence, was sentenced to one month’s hard labour and prohibited from obtaining a licence for five years. Sergeant Hogan said defendant had been fiaed £2O in Auckland two months ago and prohibited from driving. Counsel for the defence, Mr. Roe, said defendant came from Whakarewarewa in the company of a friend. It was ironical that Daly thought his friend was inacapble and took the wheel himself. It was a case of the blind leading the blind. The magistrate said defendant bad not learned any lesson from his previous experience, and he would therefore impose imprisonment. George Darroch was fined £2O for driving a car while intoxicated. His licence was cancelled for 12 months.
