THREE DRIVERS.
INTOXICATION CHARGES. Per Press Association. Invercargill; Nov. 24. Three persons were charged in the Magistrate’s Court to-day with being in a state of intoxication while in charge of a motor-car. A youth of 18, concerning whom Mr W. H. Freeman. S.M., said it was a case of a boy being led astray, was fined £5 and his license suspended for three' months; John Baillie Hamilton, farmer, Morton Mains, was fined £2O and prohibited from holding a license for 12 months. “These cases are becoming far too frequent and you are just a bit fortunate you were not given a term of imprisonment,” remarked the Magistrate to accused. The third case, in which William Hugh Piercy was charged, was dismissed.
