4, Fine of £2O and Licence Cancelled By Telegraph—Press Association. Wairoa, November 16. “You should consider yourself very lucky for if a magistrate had been here you would probably have gone to jail,” said Mr. J. R. Gillespie, J.P., at a sitting of the Magistrate’s Court to-day, when Daniel Robert Mullins, farmer, aged 30, was fined £2O for being intoxicated in charge of a motor-truck and had his licence cancelled for three years. Accused pleaded guilty. Sergeant D. Clark said that Mullins was a farmer and well known. He was one of those who might be described as a pest, and it was a well-known fact that when there was beer about he was not very far from it. Sergeant Clark added that this was accused’s second offence. He was convicted of being intoxicated in charge of a vehicle on February 14 last and his licence was cancelled for six months. “He obtainel a new licence on August 14,” said Sergeant Clark, “and here he is again. He is a danger on the road.”
