STRUCK A BICYCLE.

GIBBORNE MASSEUR FINED. INTOXICATED IN A CAR. (By Telegraph.—press Association.) AUCKLAND, Friday. A fine of £ls and cancellation of his motor license for 12 months was imposed in the Police Court this morning on William Thomas Wain (40), masseur, of Gisborne, for being in a state of intoxication while in charge of a motor-car on the Remuera Road yesterday afternoon. The police said the car struck the rear wheel of a bicycle in Newmarket and the car stopped almost at the moment of impact. It was seen that Wain was unsteady on his feet. Three-quarters of an hour later a doctor certified that lie was under the influence of liquor although not drunk. , and it was unsafe for him to be in charge of a car. Counsel said Wain had a consider- | able practice in Gisborne. He asked that if it were found necessary to ! deal with the license the period of cancellation should he brief. IN “ BORROWED ” CAR.
