FINE OF TEN POUNDS
DRUNK IN CHARGE OF CAR LICENCE NOT CANCELLED. A fine of £lO was imposed by Mr. J. H. Salmon. S.M., in the Wanganui Magistrate's Court yesterday on Ernest Jaens Larsen, butcher, aged 45 years, for being intoxicated in charge of a motor-car. Pointing out that it was not a bad case of intoxication, the magistrate did not cancel the licence. Defendant was allowed two weeks in which to pay the fine. Senior-Sergeant L. R. Capp, who appeared for the police, said that the defendant had been driving slowly along Victoria Avenue at 8 o'clock on Thursday night. His driving attracted the attention of a constable, who took him to the Wanganui Police Station, where he was examined by a doctor and found to be in a state of intoxication.
