INTOXICATED DRIVER
MASTER GROCER FINED £25. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) INVERCARGILL, July 4. “As I have said before, every magistrate sees in these cases extreme difficulty. One sometimes has decent, honourable citizens before the court on a charge like this. However, the court has a duty to the public at large, and no matter who is in the box that duty has to be done,” said Mr R. C. Abernethy, S.M.. in the Magistrates’ Court today in convicting James Henry Barlow, master grocer, aged 55, for having been in a state of intoxication while in charge of a motor-car. Defendant, who pleaded not guilty, was fined £25, with costs £1 12s 6d, and he was disqualified from holding a driver's licence for one year.
