INTOXICATED IN CAR.
FARRIER SENT TO PRISON. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) INVERCARGILL, Friday. A sentence of two months' imprisonment was imposed on John Charles Padget, aged 44, a farrier, who pleaded guilty in the Police Court to-day to a charge of being found, in a state of intoxication while in charge of a motor car. Accused had been seen at two o'clock in the morning driving in an erratic manner and had been arrested in a very drunken state. It was his third offence.
Counsel said the car was the cause of all the trouble. Accused's principal business was shoeing horses. He did the shoeing of practically all the racehorses in Southland.
"This lias «one beyond all toleration," said Mr. E. C. Levvey, S.M., in imposing the sentence of imprisonment. Accused's license was cancelled and he was debarred from obtaining another one for three years.
