LICENSE CANCELLED
INTOXICATED MOTOR SALESMAN “CAN SELL PERAMBULATORS NOW” Dominion Special Service. Auckland, November 2. “With the misfortune that always seems to dog him, the collision took place right outside the house of Constable Reilly,” said Mr. Bryce Hart, who appeared for Richard Francis Hammond (aged 33), a motor-car salesman charged in the Magistrate’s Court this morning with being in a state of intoxication while in charge of his motor-car in Panmure Road, Ellerslie. Hammond pleaded guilty. Mr. Hart: Unfortunately my client is a motor-car salesman. Could Your Worship deal with him in such a way that he could prohibit himself instead of having his license cancelled? The Magistrate: No. His license is going to go. He can have a prohibition order as well if he likes. The Magistrate fined- Hammond £25 and cancelled his license for twelve months.
Mr. Hart remarked that it would be hard on accused to have his license taken away, as he was a car salesman. “Can’t help that,” said the Magistrate. “He can sell perambulators now.”
