MOTORIST’S LAPSE
LICENSE CANCELLED. By Telegraph—Press Association CHRISTCHURCH. April 24. Thomas Lucas Barnes (50), school teacher, was fined £7 and costs, and had his driver’s license cancelled by the Magistrate, Mr E. D. Mosley, this morning ,on a charge of being in control of a motor car in Cashel Street, last evening, while in a state of intoxication. He pleaded guilty. Counsel said his client taught at Beckenham. He had four drinks yesterday. He applied for the suppression of his name, saying that publication would cost Barnes his job. The Magistrate: I don’t think publication will make any difference ill this case. It is bound to get to the ears of the authorities, and it is proper that it should. They should know what their servants are doing. Why should the man’s name be concealed? The case does not come within the purview of the rules I have set dt>wn for my guidance.
