LORRY DRIVER FINED £25
INTOXICATED IN VEHICLE Press Association NAPIER, Alonday. A motor-lorry driver, Reginald Frank Hunt, who was acquitted recently in the Supremo Court on a charge of negligently driving a motorlorry and causing the death of Mrs. Alary Kingsland, was today charged in the Magistrate’s Court with being intoxicated while in charge of a motorlorry. The magistrate convicted him and fined him £.*25. He was declared ineligible to hold a driver’s licence for three years. Security for appeal was fixed at £ls 3 ss. Counsel for the defendant raised the plea of autrefois acquis, contending that if the present charge had been laid before the Supreme Court case it would have been a bar to the indictment. The magistrate held that the plea was not tenable.
