JOCKEY MOTORIST
£2O FINE FOR INTOXIC ATION (By Telegraph.—Pre§6 Association) AUCKLAND, Wednesday Arrested in Otahuhu last evening, David John Burgess, aged 35, crosscountry jockey and trainer, pleaded guilty in the Police Court for intoxication in charge of a motor-car. The police said a constable saw Burgess leave a hotel slightly intoxicated and drive off in a motor-car. A doctor certified him unfit to drive. Defending counsel, Mr Terry, said the degree of intoxication was slight. The condition of Burgess was due more to pathological factors than to alcohol. In a fall at the June meeting at Ellerslie he suffered concussion and was a long time under medical attention. The magistrate, Mr J. Morling, SLid that in the circumstances he would impose a fine of £2O and cancel the license for twelve months.
