Two men who were intoxicated in charge of cars on Saturday, Robert Herbert Johnston, a hawker, and Kenneth Allan Fitzpatrick, contractor, were sent to jail by the Magistrate, Mr F. H. Levien. Johnstone was sentenced to 14 days' imprisonment and his licence was cancelled for 18 months, and Fitzpatrick to seven days; with cancellation of his licence for 12 months After counsel for Fitzpatrick had pointed out that if the defendant's licence was cancelled he would lose his livelihood, the magistrate said lie thought the time had arrived when some provision should be made in the Statute for a licence to be issued with a special endorsement, in order that such men would not lose their livelihood. However, at present ther was no such provision, and the defendant would have to take the penalty.
