TWO MEN CHARGED WITH INTOXICATION
(United Press Association) AUCKLAND, December 18. Two men charged with intoxication while in charge of cars on Saturday, Robert Herbert Johnston, a hawker, and Kenneth Allan Fitzpatrick, a contractor, were sent to gaol by the Magistrate, Mr F. H. Levien, S.M._ Johnstone was sentenced to 14 days’ imprisonment and his licence was cancelled for 18 months, and Fitzgerald was sentenced to seven days’ imprisonment and his licence cancelled for 12 months. After counsel for Fitzpatrick had pointed out that if his licence was cancelled he would lose his means of livelihood, the Magistrate said he thought the time had arrived when some provision should be made in the Statute for a licence to be issued with a special endorsement in order that such men would not lose their livelihood. However, at present there was no such provision and defendant would have to take the penalty.
