LOST LIVELIHOOD
INTOXICATED DRIVERS SPECIAL LICENSES SUGGESTED TWO MEN SENT TO GAOL (By Telegraph.—Press Association) AUCKLAND, Monday Two men who were intoxicated in charge of cars on Saturday, Robert Herbert Johnston, a hawker, and Kenneth Allan Fitzpatrick, contractor, were sent to gaol by Mr F. H. Levien, S.M. Johnston was sentenced to 14 days and his license was cancelled for 18 months. Fitzpatrick was sentenced to seven days and had his license cancelled for 12 months. After counsel for Fitzpatrick had pointed out that if his license were cancelled he would lose his livelihood, the magistrate said he thought the time had arrived when some provision should be made in the statute for a license to be issued with a special endorsement, in order that such men would not lose their livelihood. However, at present there was no such provision and defendant would have to take the penalty. ASHBURTON PENALTY (By Telegraph.—Press Association) ASHBURTON, Monday James Bland was fined £2O and had his license suspended for 12 months for being intoxicated in charge of a car on Iriday evening.
