WENT TO HIS CAR TO SLEEP IT OFF
AFTER ENGINEERS’ REUNION.
Per Press Association.
AUCKLAND, Last Night.
In the Police Court, Leslie Boy Plummer (24), a storeman, was charged with being in a state of intoxication while in charge of a motor car in Elliot street on Saturday night. Sub-Inspector McCarthy, said Plummer had been attending a re-union of the Engineers on Saturday and had taken more liquor than was good for him. He left the rooms where the function was being held and went to his car to have a sleep. The Magistrate (Mr Hunt): “Where else could he go, except to his ear, which was his own property?” Sub-Inspector McCarthy: “He might have awakened and attempted to drive away. ’ ’ Counsel for accused said Plummer had no intention of driving away. He had done the best thing by going to his car in a quiet street and sleeping off the effects of the liquor. Plummer was a respectabel man and had never been in trouble before.-
“He has been, punished enough and will- be convicted and discharged,” said the Magistrate.
