DRUNKEN MOTORIST
SENT TO PRISON. INVERCARGILL, Friday. In the Police Court this morning, before Mr E. C. Levvy, S.M., John Charles Padget, a farrier, aged 44. pleaded guilty to a charge of being found in a state of intoxication while in charge of a motor car. Accused had been seen at two o’clock in the morning driving in an erratic manner, lie had been arrested in a very drunken state. It was his third offence. Counsel said that the car was the cause of all the trouble. His client’s principal business was shoeing horses. He did the shoeing of practically all the racehorses in Southland. “This has gone beyond all toleration,” said Ilis Worship, in convicting accused and sentencing him to imprisonment for two months. Padget’s license was cancelled, and lie was debarred from obtaining another one for 3 years.—(P.A.)
