ANOTHER WARNING
INTOXICATED DRIVERS
GAOL INSTEAD OF FINES
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
HASTINGS, September 16.
Mr. 3. Miller, S.M., in fining a motorist £15 and cancelling his licence for twelve months for being intoxicated while in charge of a motor vehicle, issued a warning that such offences, which had become too numerous in. the Hastings district, had to stop or the Court would be compelled to send offenders to gaol. There had been four convictions in a week, altogether too many for, a district of the size of Hastings. Fines apparently were not a sufficient deterrent, he added.
