CHASE AFTER MOTORIST.
SEQUEL IN COURT. Per Press Association. CHRISTCHURCH, April 22. “There seem to be no extenuating circumstances i in favour of accused at all; it is just’a case of plain drunkenness,” remarked tile Magistrate (Mill. C. Levvcy) in the Magistrate’s Court to-day when sentencing Samuel Horace Burrowes, aged 43, a farmer, to fourteen days’ gaol on a charge of being intoxicated while in charge of a car. His license was cancelled for eighteen months. Sub-Inspector Packer said that Burrowes was driving at 35 miles an hour when he struck a postman on a bicycle. The postman kept his balance and, when the car slowed down at a tram stop, tried to catch it. The catmade off again and the postman met and informed a traffic officer, who pursued the car blowing his siren, but Burrowes took no notice until he pulled up in Cathedral Square.
