INTOXICATED DRIVER
CIVIL SERVANT SENT TO GAOL. OBSERVATIONS BY MAGISTRATE. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) DUNEDIN, This Day. “On the one hand we have a man otherwise of good repute on the other there is the public interest, which must be paramount,” stated Mr J. S. Bartholomew, S.M., in the Police Court this morning, when sentencing a civil servant, James Henry McKay, aged 55, to a week’s imprisonment for intoxication while in charge of a car, together with a prohibition from driving a car for two years. Counsel stated that defendant held a high position in the service having been a member for 30 years. He had been on transfer to Dunedin for only a few weeks. Some half-hour after the police surgeon’s examination, Dr Monheimer examined accused, stating that although there was a smell of liquor, he answered tests satisfactorily. The magistrate, in inflicting the sentence, said there was a previous conviction and fine and now the offence was repeated.
