to consider the inter- pretation of the word "drunk," the Attorney-General said that their recommendations regarding such definition had been included in the present Bill, viz., "For the purposes of sub-sections (3) and (4) a person shall be deemed to have been drunk if he was so much under the influence of alco-) hol as to have lost control of his faculties to such an extent as to render him unable, to execute safely the occupation on which he was engaged at the time in ques- tion."
Motor Car Control.
ย
It was obvious, of course, that u person might be intoxicated to a certain extent and yet be ablo to carry on his particular occupa- tion with perfect safety to him- self and others, whilst in another case, such as the control of motor car, a less degree of in- toxication would make him a source of danger both to himself and the general public. The test adopted was whether the state of intoxication was such as to render him unable to execute safely, the particular occupation on which he was engaged at the time in ques- tion. This was the first general point dealt with by the Bill.
The second dealt with appeals from magistrates' decisions, pro- viding that if any appeal was ren- dered impossible by the death, absence or incapacity of the magistrate whose decision was ap pealed against, the Full Court shall have power to order the case to be tried "do novo," whilst the third point dealt with loitering to commit a felony.
Loitering.
The Vagrancy Act of 1824 makes it an offence for a aus- pected person or reputed thief to frequent streets, docks and so on with intent to commit a felony. Very often it is difficult to prove frequenting, because to prove fre- quenting you must be able to show that the man has visited that street for that purpose at least more than once. On the other hand it may be quite ob-1 vious from his known character) and his actions that he can only be there for an unlawful purpose.
