ANOTHER DRINK VICTIM.
Last Christmas Eve a little child of six itood at a street corner in Napier waiting to meet her father. Round the corner, at an excessive rate of speed, came a motor car. The little child was knocked down, and only lived for a short time after. It came out in evidence that the driver of the car was under the influence of strong drink. He had hot les of beer in his car when the police took possession of it. During the afternoon he had been ordered home by a policeman on account of his condition. The driver was tried for m mslaughter, and now comes the astonishing news that he has been acquitted. Surely the law should provide that only sober men arc* allowed to drive motors.
