PLEA REJECTED
INTOXICATED MOTORIST SENT TO GAOL. NERVOUS DISABILITY NOT AN EXCUSE. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. A sentence of 14 days’ imprisonment was imposed on Joseph David Scowen, aged 24, for being intoxicated while in charge of a car. His licence was endorsed, and suspended for 12 months. To a plea for a fine rather than imprisonment, because the defendant suffered from a nervous disability and the effect of liquor was more than he had expected, the magistrate, Mr Goulding. said the fact that defendant had been treated for a nervous disability was all more reason why he should not take liquor.
