Paterson, S.M., in the Magistrate’s Court- at Hamilton to-day, when hearing a rase of intoxication in charge of a car. Senior-Sergeant 0. H. Lambert, in prosecuting, described it as a particularly serious one, as the accused, J.eo Francis Thorborn, aged 21, a bnshman ol Pukekohe, was almost intoxicated to a degree which would have warranted an arrest - for drunkenness in a public place. “It was not the beer in the car,” said Mr Paterson, when Thorborn said ho had only two bottles with him, “but the beer that was in you that was the fault.”
Thorborn was convicted and sentenced, to 14 days’ imprisonment and his driver’s licence was cancelled until June 30, 1040.
