DRUNK IN CHARGE
Sheepfarmers in Court
TWO FINED £2O EACH By Telegraph.—Press Association. Dunedin, December 19. “It is strange that we, should have two cases of this sort. I don’t know whether the rise in wool prices has gone to- their heads,” remarked Mr. J. R. Bartholomew, S.M., when two sheepfarmers, John Alexander Gow and Janies Arthur Adam, pleaded guilty to being intoxicated in charge of motor-cars. In fining each £2O without cancelling the licenses, the magistrate said that clemency was accorded because of their being backblock settlers. Cancellation of the licenses would! Impose undue hardship, but his action must not be taken, as a precedent.
