(Per Press Association*. AUCKLAND, July 30
“Tt is a most unpleasant task to deal with respectable men with family responsibilities, but the public must bo protected. Unless there are unusual circumstances the penalty is imprisonment,” said the Magistrate, Mr J. Morling, S.M., in the Magistrate’s Court, when a sentence of seven days’ imprisonment was imposed on Bertram Augustus Hugh Buscomb, aged 55, a gardener, and Hedwin Arthur William Swenson, aged 46, a farmer, for being in a state of intoxication while in charge of motor vehicles. The police said Buscomb ran a motorcycle on a road roped off for repairs, and was observed to be intoxicated. Swenson’s car hit a safety zone in Queen Street, and was driven into a side street, where Swenson was found in an intoxicated condition. Both licences were cancelled for 12 months.
