ißy Telegraph—Press Association.!
WANGANUI. February 20. • "In my view you were partly under the influence of alcoholic liquor, though not to such an extent as to jusi lify the police in prosecuting you for i being drunk in charge of a motor ve- ■ hide. My view, however, is that the ' accident would not have occurred but i for the influence of the liquor,” said ' Mr. Justice Smith in the Supreme i Court today, when imposing sentence |on George Clark. Wanganui. Clark had made a plea for leniency in the 1 sentences on two charges arising from Jan accident, the first of failing to stop j and the second of failing to ascertain I if anyone vyas injured.
On the first count Clark was senlenj ced to imprisonment for four weeks j without hard labour, and on the second . count, which was involved in the first, : he was convicted and ordered to come : up for sentence if called on within one J month.
