SENTENCE AMENDED.
INTOXICATED CAR OWNER.
NOT TO DRIVE FOR TEN YEARS. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) DUNEDIN, this day. The sentence of three weeks' imprisonment imposed on Gustave Neilson in the Police Court on Monday for being intoxicated in charge of a car was amended by Mr. H. W. Bundle, S.M., after a rehearing this morning, Neilson being fined £10 and prohibited from driving for 10 years. The magistrate heard the evidence of Dr. De Latour as to defendant's disability through a war injury to the skull making him abnormally sensitive to alcohol, but he did not accept the doctor's view that Neilson was incapable of forming judgment at the time he allowed another man, also intoxicated, to drive for him. The magistrate held that Neilson was not in such a state of helplessness as to escape the eharge of aiding and abetting an intoxicated person to drive his car.
