Catlin, 0.C, James heed, MEtible Refpel'd Weiser. Two teen-agers who pleaded guilty to charges of innp'ai driv- .iig, assaultinga local police con- stable and faure to produce driv- ing licenses, were sentenced to jail by . Magistrate D. E. Holmes in weekly court here. Harold G. Iamb, 18, was sent- enced to one month in jail for im- paired driving, 14 days for assault- ing Constable M. Horan with intent to resist detention, and two ,dollars and costs, or three days, for failing to produce a driving license. The jail terms were eoncurrent. Gordon Chapman, 17, was sent- enced to 14 days for impaired driv- ing, 14 days concurrent for resist- ing an officer and $25 and costs, or seven days, for driving without a license. It 'was Chapman's first appearance in court here. Lamb's license was suspended for one year and the other youth was prohibited from obtaining a license for one year. The two youth had been kept in jail from the time of their arrest on Sunday entil they were brought to court for trial on Thursday. Crown Attorney H. Glenn Hays said that Chapman was at the wheel of a car which rammed into the rear of an Austin parked on the Square. The car backed up, Lamb teak the Wheel and hit the back of the English car again. There was about $40 damage to the Austin, which belonged to "an acquaintance" of the youths. There was a scuffle at the police station and Constable Horan was the target for a few blows, but Magistrate Holmes indicated that he didn't attach too much import- ance to this episode. The youths had been drinking and were con- siderably smaller in stMure than the officer. Asked if the police had had any previous trouble with the pair, Crown Attorney Hays replied, "They say they're both absolute cowboys with cats." . Pleading guilty to drunk driving, George Brown, an elderly Blyth resident, was sentenced to seven days in jail. He was ordered to pay court costs or serve seven dates more. His ear was impounded three months and his license sus- pended for six months. The man was observed by police in Tuckersmi'th Township at about 1.15 a.m. on July 6. His car was travelling from .side to side, and other autos had to take to the shoulder of the road to pass him. He was stopped by police near Clintcu. Charges Dismissed Charges against four as t h e r motorists were dismissed by the magistrate. Three of the ,men were represented by counsel James Donnelly. In one of these cases, James V. Harrison, 19, had been charged with careless driving because, local police alleged, the seat of his pick- up truck was overcrowded. There were four young people in the cab, including the driver, when the vehicle was observe_ d by Constable. Horan. The court learned with interest that Harrison had been used to riding to school in a car designated as a school bus. This car carried four persons in the front seat and five in the back seat, he said. The magistrate decided thle evid- caice did not warrant a conviction. A charge against Robert E. Hanna, of failing to stop at a stop sign at Dunlop, was dismissed also. A car driven by Mr. Hanna was in -collision with an auto driven by Mason Rurnley. Mr. Rumley, testi- fied that there was $900 damage to his car. Donald Morin, who is, employed cel a construction job at, the harbor, was given the benefit of the doubt an charges of failing to stop at West street and the Square, and failing to notify the Departtment of Highways of a --change of ad- dress. Morin Maintained that he did not need to change his address. 'because his perm -elect home was Kapuskasing, where he claimed to have his furniture. When he learn- ed the man- was losing $1.80 an hour in wages while he was at- tending court, the magistrate said he felt he had been penalized enough. A charge against R. D. Argyle, of not having his name and ad- dress on both sides of at truck, was dismissed' because the charge was not properly worded in the opinion of the court. o , 0-- • A Buiiding Perriits Hit $98,$20 In.
