INTOXICATED DRIVERS
FINES IMPOSED (New Zealand Press Association) GORE, September 14. “I must say it is unusual not to send a second offender to gaol for this charge,” Mr A. E. Dobbie, S.M., told Robert Leishman McLennan, aged 56, a farmer, of Kaiwera, in the Magistrate’s Court at Gore today. McLennan was charged with driving a car while intoxicated. McLennan pleaded guilty, and was fined £5O. His licence was cancelled for three years, and was ordered to be renewed only on application to the Court. The Magistrate said he would take into consideration the fact that McLennan had first been convicted 14 years ago of driving while intoxicated, and that on the present occasion it was chiefly a question of bad driving. The Magistrate also dealt with a charge of driving while intoxicated brought against Albert Eric Black, a plasterer, of Mataura. Black pleaded guilty, and was fined £3O. His licence was cancelled for a year.
