MOTORIST FINED
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
BLENHEIM, February 16,
Mervyn Chell Wilson, salesman, Christchurch, was fined £10 and had his licence suspended till May 31 by Mr. T. E. Maunsell, S.M., for intoxication in charge of a motor-car between Seddon and Ward.
A point in the 'case was that the Magistrate held that the defendant's condition on arrival at Blenheim had nothing to do with the affair. The Court accepted the evidence of witnesses who testified to the defendant's condition when he was on the Main South Road between the two townships mentioned. One witness, a barman in a hotel in Seddon, had declined to serve the defendant with drink because of his condition.
