He reall «dd he was intoxicated and pulled up 0 the curb where he went to sleen, Mr. Swanson bent his efforts for licnency on the point that the accus ed knew enough and pulled up to the curb, knowing he would get into further trouble if he. continued to drive. In reply to the sentence, Mr. Swanson was of the opinion this was yather severe in view of the minimum penalties that are provided under the act, Magistrate Hind ruled that the fact that the accused pulled his car to the curb, was only an act of God and 'that he accused should not take this to his 'redit. said Crown when D.
