Truth's" Napier Representative.) "MO decent men m their sober senses would have' used such language," announced Ernest Stout, a bank clerk, to Mr. Mowlem, S.M., m regard to the early morning carousal of John Ralph White - and his companions on Marine Drive. "It could have been heard a quarter of a mile away," he added. White, who until recently practised as a solicitor m Napier, was charged .with being d unk m his car and pleaded not guilty. - . He denied using filthy language and claimed that, he was sober and was merely helping two other men out of a difficulty. "It is somewhat painful to me to see the defendant here," said Mr. Mowlem. "It has been proved that he was m a s^ate of intoxication — that he was on a drunken carousal which took place ten feet / from a man's window. That man says that they were drunk, not merely m a state of intoxication, and both his and his wife's ears were assailed by filthy language. Is it the , act of a sober man m the company of two men Who are admittedly drunk to drink twice from the same bottle as those men? I am convinced beyond all question that,, the defendant was drunk, and I' can't believe that he was prohibited from using the telephone at the police station. "No man can mix his beer and benzine," he added, and fined White £20, cancelling his driving license for six months. lilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllMlltllllllltlllllltlllllttllllinillllltlllllltlllHlttlllltlllllllllll-llltlllllltllllllllllltlllllllttllllltllllllttllMllllllMtllflMlllllllllllllllltllMl.lllltlltlllllll
