FARMERS FINED
DRUNK IN CHARGE OF CARS. (Per United Press Association.) Dunedin, December 19. “It is strange that we should have two cases of this sort. I don’t know whether the rise in wool prices has gone to their heads,” remarked Mr Bartholomew, S.M., when two sheep farmers, John Alexander Gow and James Arthur Adam, pleaded guilty to being intoxicated in charge of motor cars. In fining each £2O without cancelling their licenses the Magistrate said clemency was accorded because being backblock settlers the cancellation of their licenses would impose an undue hardship, but his action must not be taken as a precedent.
