Manilla court fines driver for driving under influence
Donald C. Grant of North Manilla is fined £10 by the Manilla Court of Petty Sessions for driving a motor vehicle while intoxicated. The court disqualified him from holding a driver’s licence for 12 months. Evidence showed the crash occurred near Glen Barra road around 11 am on February 13, with Grant admitting drinking wine and carrying a bottle. The case noted his age, years in the mail run, and family support, but the judge imposed a light penalty after considering circumstances.
