WEEK-END SENTENCES

INTOXICATED MOTORISTS

APPROVAL OF MAGISTRAL

i "I am in full accord with the proposed policy of the Minister of Public ( Works to give magistrates power to I send motor-vehicle drivers who are convicted of being intoxicated in I charge of their vehicles to gaol at week-ends,” said Mr.’W. H. Freeman, S.M., in the Pukeko'ne Police Court when considering what penalty he should impose on a motorist who had I pleaded guilty to this offence. "At. present,' continued Mr. Freeman, “magistrates do not like sentencing offenders to a term of imprisonment when they are married men with families, as they are the brean- | winners, and such a penalty would be very hard on the wives and children. This difficulty would be overcome by lno provision to send them to gaol 1 each week-end over a certain period. "It is a good measure. It is commonsenst,” he added. Middlesex, at Wellington, thence.
