INTOXICATED DRIVERS

TWO MEN IMPRISONED. [PEB PRESS ASSOCIATION.] „ CHRISTCHURCH, Septtember 5. “This is just, about, as gross a case with which we have ever had to deal with in this Court,” said Mr. Levvey, S.M., to-day, when George Keith Campbell and William Henry Hawes were charged with being intoxicated while in charge of a motor-truck. “1 am quite satisfied that this man Campbell was incapable of driving, and that Hawes was in charge. So many of these people who appear on this charge are quite decent citizens, but this "is such a glaring case that I. am not. prepared to impose a fine.” Both men were sentenced to 30 days’ hard labour, and Campbell’s licence was cancelled and endorsed. Both lie and Hawes were declared unfit to hold licenses for J2 months.

Outlining the’case, the police said that the motor-truck in which the two accused were travelling, collided with a pole. After the accident, the two men got out and walked down towards the railway station. When examined, Campbell was declared to be definitely intoxicated, and Hawes, who had no driver’s licence, was not so bad.

Witnesses were called to identify Campbell as the owner, and Hawes as the driver of the truck.
