NOT SENT TO GAOL
NEGLIGENT DRIVER FATALITY NEAR WAIPU JUDGE IMPOSES £SO FINE (By Telegraph.—Press Association) AUCKLAND, Monday Remarking that at no time during the two trials had there been the slightest hint of liquor against the prisoner, and that the circumstances in no way suggested that the prisoner was a road-hog, Mr Justice Callan, in the Supeme Court, said he would not pass a term of imprisonment on Frank Brooks, a showman, aged 56, who was found guilty by a jury of negligent driving so as to cause the death of Patrick Daley, a roadman. Daley was knocked down by a truck driven by Brooks on Pillbrow’s Hill, near Waipu, on July 3. Brooks was fined £SO, and disqualified from holding a driver’s license for five years. Three months were allowed in which to pay the fine.
