WILD CAREER
CAR GOES THROUGH FENCE INTO WASHHOUSE. DRIVER SENT TO GAOL. (By Telegrapfi—Press Association.) PALMERSTON N„ This Day. Lewis Eric Colville, aged 23, was sentenced to ten days’ imprisonment by Mr H. P. Lawry, S.M., for being intoxicated in charge of a car. Colville’s licence was cancelled till May, 1940. Inspector Cummings said accused’s car mounted the footpath at 1.45 p.m. and travelled for a distance of forty feet, going through a strong fence and across a garden into a washhouse, demolishing one side of this and knocking the copper from the brickwork. The impact occurred four feet from a sleeping man, who received a great fright. The magistrate commented that he did not usually impose imprisonment for a first offence, but this case was different. The car’s course showed the extent of accused’s intoxication.
