DRUNKEN MOTORIST.
HIS LICENSE SUSPENDED. FATHER OF TEN CHILDREN. By Telegraph —Press Association. Christchurch, Last Night. “I always regard these cases as very serious, because ouy traffic is almost entirely motor and fast moving, and dangerous if not properly regulated. A drunken man in a vehicle neither gives nor regards signals, and his presence too often leads to accidents. This case has eome peculiar features which make it difficult to know what to do,’’ said Mr. Wyvern Wilson, S.M., in suspending, the license of Denis Benjamin O’Callaghan, a carrier, for one month and fining him £5 for being drunk while in charge oi a motor lorry. The unusual features referred to were that O’Caliaghan is the father of ten children ranging in age from 12 months to 20 years. He is usually ’abstemious and of good repute, and the major part of his income is derived from carrying work done for a local firm.
