MOTORIST FINED
DRUNK IN CHARGE OF CAR. (Per United Press Association.) Gisborne, June 25. Before Mr Lewy, S.M., this morning Archibald Gray Turnbull, a well-known Poverty Bay farmer and sportsman, admitted being found in a state of intoxication in charge of a car. The evidence showed that accused had been found in the street at 2.30 a.m. on June 17, in a state of intoxication. Senior-Sergeant Mac Lean said that it was only fair to state that the police as a whole looked upon defendant as one of the “cream of the country” as far as decency and sobriety was concerned. The Magistrate said that in view of the wonderful testimony given by the police, he would not treat the matter seriously and inflicted a fine of £lO and costs.
