Supreme Court APPEAL FAILS
Driving Penalty An appeal by James Murray Richard Hartigan, a company representative against his conviction and sentence in the Magistrate’s Court on a charge of carelessly using a motor vehicle, was dismissed by Mr Justice Wilson in the Supreme Court yesterday. Hartigan was convicted and fined £7, and his driver’s licence suspended for six months, in the Magistrate’s Court in Christchurch on December 5. The offence related to a collision between his car and another in Worcester street on July 23, 1963. For Hartigan, Mr R. L. Kerr said that his client was on the right of the other car, and would be entitled to assume that the other car would give way to him. His Honour commented that Hartigan has had a previous conviction for dangerous driving, and that a man with that kind of history was one who sould be kept away from driving for a period. Mr I. C. J. Polson appeared for the Crown.
