" defence, said he didn’t know he struck the cat which was owned by Tilson Bernard and parked on North- umberland street. Police Chief Peter White said “seems to me he wasn’t aware he hit the park-

Roville Connolly, Summerside, who earlier pleaded not guilty to a charge of care and control of a motor vehicle while his ability was impaired by alcohol or a drug was convicted a = fined $50 and costs. Police ficer Neil Sharp and Blair Boel gave evidence

Accused was arrested on Sun- day, March 25th as the result of a phone call to the police. Evidence revealed he was found slumped over the wheel with the car stuck in a snowbank

Defence Counsel, J. Watson

MacNaught, moved that the im formation be dismissed as evi- dence, he said, showed the mas was incapable. “He couldn’t walk and could only mumble.” Mr. MacNaught said therefore there was not intent in this case to put the car in motion as ac- cused was unable to do so. How- ever the Magistrate said there was no evidence to show that accused hadn't driven the car te the place where it was found and levied the minimium fine.” fine,
