BLIND LEADING BLIND

DRIVER AND OWNER BOTH DRUNK [Per United Press Association.] WELLINGTON, August 19. “It looks like a case of the blind leading the blind,” said Sub-inspector O’Neill in court, when William David Ainge (24), a labourer, was being prosecuted for intoxication while in charge of a car. He said that after Ainge had been taken in charge the owner of the car, who was also in an advanced state of intoxication, called at the station and said he gave the keys to the accused, as ho thought he was himself too drunk to drive. . It appeared that Ainge was found seated in the driver’s seat, and had the ignition switched on. He told the constable he was waiting for the other man to come along. Mr Stout, S.M., imposed a fine of £ls, with a year’s cancellation of his license.
