INTOXICATED MOTORIST
"THERE ARE DEGREES IN EVEE^ CASE." (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, This Day. ' "Although this man has been cosw victed for a similar offence previously there are degrees in every case, and ag he has been sick recently, this would probably account for him becoming af£ fected by having a few drinks," said Mr. P. K. Hunt, S.M., at the Policy Court, in convicting William Pine Knight (s_) on a charge of being found in a state of intoxication while in charge of a motor-car in Broadway, Newmarket.
Constable Tierney said that he con« sidered Knight was too drunk tO'Underi stand anything. He was unable to say where he had come from, or where he was going. He refused to make a statement to witness. He was atrj rested and taken to the Central Polic< Station, and told witness that he wisM ed to be examined by a doctor as to his condition.
_ The accused was fine £10, and hii license was cancelled for six months. J
