MAGISTRITE’S COURT Convicted On Eight Charges Of Disqualified Driving

Peter John Heyder, aged 24, a shopkeeper, who pleaded guilty to eight charges of driving while disqualified, two charges of exceeding 30 miles an hour, and one charge of failing to stop after an accident, was convicted by Mr H. J. Evans, S.M., in the Magistrate’s Court yesterday and remanded on bail to Thursday for sentence.

Heyder (Mr L. G. Holder) pleaded not guilty to a charge of careless use of a vehicle in Hackthorne road on October 5.

Seven of the disqualified driving charges and the two speeding charges were brought by the Christchurch City Council traffic department and the other charges were brought by the police. Senior - Sergeant G. M. Cleary said Heyder drove his wife’s car down Hackthorne road and struck a parked car, but did not stop. He said afterwards that he had not stopped because he knew he was in trouble as he was a disqualified driver. Traffic Sergeant H. J. McMorran said that on October 19 and October 22 Heyder was checked exceeding 30 miles an hour and he admitted being a disqualified driver. He was seen driving five more times between October 26 and November 11. Mr Holder said Heyder’s wife had lost her second child soon after October 5. Heyder became severely introspective and depressed and went on spells of drinking. After long talks with counsel Heyder agreed to see a psychiatrist and he finally admitted that he had emotional difficulties. If Heyder had got medical or psychiatric advice after his accident on October 5 the subsequent offences might not have occurred, said Mr Holder. He asked that if a term of imprisonment were to be imposed that it not be a long one as Heyder required treatment and imprisonment would do nothing for him. FORGED SIGNATURE

Barry Thomas Jack, aged 23, a driver, was convicted and remanded on bail to December 8 for sentence when he pleaded guilty to a charge of theft of a cheque valued at £37 12s 6d, the property of G. H. Mallock, and to a charge of forging the signature of G. H. Mallock on a cheque, both on June 22.

Senior Sergeant Cleary said that on October 4 a complaint was received about a valueless cheque. On November 28 the defendant appeared at the police station and said he was responsible for the incident. Jack had told the police that Mallock left a neighbouring flat and had asked him to hold any mail, Senior Sergeant Cleary said. He had done so and when Mallock had not come to collect it about a month later he had opened it and this was how he had found the cheque addressed to Mallock. Jack had countersigned the cheque G. M. Mallock and cashed it, purchasing clothing from a drapery'. Some of this had been recovered, but restitution of £32 12s 6d was asked for.

Mr A. P. C. Tipping, for Jack, said that Jack had returned from Australia to give himself up. The amount of restitution being asked for was already held in a solicitor's trust account, he said. INDECENT ACT A man whose name was suppressed (Mr J. H. F. Macfarlane) was convicted and remanded on bail to December 8 for sentence when he pleaded guilty to a charge that on November 28 he permitted another male to perform an indecent act upon him. Another man, whose name was also suppressed (Mr W. Gilroy) was convicted and remanded on his plea of guilty to a charge that on November 28 he performed an indecent act on another male. SMOKED WHILE DRIVING Abel Samuel Manu, a taxidriver, was fined 10s when he pleaded guilty to a charge of smoking in his taxi while carrying a passenger. Traffic Sergeant McMorran said a traffic officer asked the woman passenger if Manu had asked her permission to smoke, and she said he had not. BREACH OF PROBATION Robert James Dunick, aged 36, a welder (Mr M. F. Hobbs), pleaded guilty to a charge that on October 7 he committed a breach of probation by failing to report as directed. He was convicted and ordered to pay court costs of £1 10s. The probation officer (Mr J. Ryley) said Dunick could have acted as he had because he was under a misconception as to the terms of the sentence imposed on him when he was sent to prison originally. DRUNK Dennis Ronald William, aged 38, a panel beater, pleaded guilty to a charge of being drunk in Manchester street on November 28 and admitted two previous convictions for a similar offence within the last six months. He i was convicted and fined £2 in •default three days’ imprisonment.
