SENT TO GAOL
INTOXICATED DRIVER’S EXCUSE QUITE ALL RIGHT WHEN HE STARTED. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, This Day. Wilfred Hanson, accountant, of Taihape, aged 38, was sentenced to fourteen days’ imprisonment and disqualified from driving for eighteen months, when he appeared on remand in the Police Court on a charge of intoxication while in charge of a motor-car.
The police said Hanson was found in a stationary car in Fort Street on Friday night. Defending counsel, while he did not contest the fadt that an hour after his arrest Hanson was intoxicated, said he was quite all right when he started out to drive, but when the car stopped something went wrong and he remained sitting in a closed and stuffy atmosphere which affected him. The excitement of the arrest further upset him.
