TAXI-DRIVER LOSES LICENSE FOR YEAR.
Pex* Press Association. WELLINGTON, July 29. Leslie Withers, a taxi-driver, aged twenty-one, having apparently taken enough liquor to make himself quarrelsomely drunk, appeared before Mr Woodward, S.M., charged with assault and with being intoxicated in charge of a motor-car. The story was that his car was standing at a pump at a service station when a wool buyer named Tartakover drove up and sought its removal, so that he himself could get some “juice". Withers came on the scene and made himself obnoxious, pushing Tartakover about and striking him on the nose. Withers lost his license for twelve months, and was fined £5, also £1 each on charges of assault and bad language
