A sentence of fourteen days’ imprisonment was imposed by the magistrate, Mr Miller, on Alick McMillan, commercial traveller, Hastings, aged 36, for intoxication while in charge of a car. “Six weeks ago I issued a warning that 1 would have to consider imprisonment in some of these cases,” the Magistrate said. “Taken on its own this case is not a bad one.
