DRUNKEN MOTORIST
MOTOR DRIVER SENT TO GOAL. (By Telegraph—Press Association ) AUCKLAND, January 16. Seven days’ imprisonment and the cancellation of his licence for two years was the penalty imposed on Neil Harold McLean, motor-driver, aged 27. in the Magistrates’ Court today for having been intoxicated in charge of a car at 12.15 on Sunday morning. Council said that McLean had been celebrating the arrival of a new member of his family. The magistrate, Mr F. H. Levien, declined counsel’s suggestion to impose a fine. He said he could not show distinction between this and other cases. Such offences were too numerous and were fraught with danger to people on the highways.
