APPEAL FAILS.
A Police inspector, giving evidence in the case of a European charged with driving while under the influence of drink before Mr I. T. Morris at Kowloon Court this morning, stated that he was called "a silly young man" and was told he would "bitterly regret" what he was doing. The defendant, he added, also asked him his name, rank and the Branch to which he was attached "to be sued".
Defendant is Bruce Munro-Smith, 45, of 205 Lytton House, Mody Road. He is charged with driving under the influence of drink on September 22 at 11.05 p.m. in Nathan Road at its junction with Public Square Street.
Defendant was represented by Mr G. Hampton, of Hastings and Co., and pleaded not guilty. Sub.-Inspector. P. WUson,
