INTOXICATED DRIVER
CANTERBURY FARMER FINED LICENCE CANCELLED FOR FOUR YEARS CHRISTCHURCH. June 22. Thomas Edridge, a farmer, was fined £75 when he appeared in the Magistrates’ Court at Kaiapoi, and admitted that he had been intoxicated in charge of a car. The default in payment of the fine was fixed at three months’ imprisonment. Edridge’s driver’s licence was cancelled, and he was prohibited from obtaining another for four years. Constable J. Holmes said Edridge, who is a well-known North Canterbury farmer, had admitted that he had consumed six beers in Christchurch. He left Christchurch for his home, travelling by way of Rangiora. The police signalled to him to stop, when he passed through Kaiapoi with only one light burning, but he did not do so. Edridge was driving somewhat erratically. The constable added that Traffic In- j spector Tait overtook and stopped Edridge, and brought him to the Police : Station, where a doctor certified that he was not in a fit state to drive a car. .
