SENTENCE AMENDED
INTOXICATED PASSENGER IN CAR. FINE AND DRIVING PROHIBITION. By Telegraph—Press Association. Dunedin, Nov. 7. A sentence of three weeks’ imprisonment imposed op Gustave Neilson in the Police Court on Monday for being intoxicated in charge of a car was amended by Mr. H. W. Bundle, S.M., after a rehearing this morning, Neilson being fined £lO and being prohibited from driving for ten years. The magistrate heard the evidence of Dr. de Latour on Neilson’s disability through a war injury to the skull making him abnormally sensitive to alcohol, but he did not accept the doctor’s view that Neilson was incapable of forming a judgment at the time he allowed another man, also intoxicated, to drive for him. His Worship held that Neilson was not in such a state of helplessness as to escape the charge of aiding and abetting an intoxicated person to drive his car.
