SUPPRESSION OF NAMES
COUNSEL AND CASE AGAINST woman motorist. During the hearing of a case in the Magistrate's Court yesterday against a motorist charged with being drunk while in charge of a car Mr. C. A. L. Treadwell mentioned that recently Press criticism had been levelled at Justices of the Peace concerning the penalties inflicted ill two recent cases, for like offences. Mr. Treadwell said he was of the opinion that such criticism tended to rather panic Justices. Concerning the married woman who was fined £5 and uad her name suppressed at Lower Hutt last Monday one of the newspapers had taken it on itself to suggest that the defendant had been treated with exceptional leniency. He was engaged in that case, and he- thought it only fair to say that, in his opinion, the defendant had been adequately punished for the offence.
