yesterday and a year off the road.

Gareth M. Turner, of St. Anne's Road, pleaded guilty in Magistrates' Court to refusing to give Police a sample of his breath on March 14.

Police prosecutor Sgt. Phil Taylor said the offence stemmed from an accident, involving a van, at Spanish Point Road in Pembroke.

Officers noticed that Turner smelled of alcohol, his eyes were glazed, and his speech was slurred, Sgt. Taylor said. And they requested that Turner give them a sample of his breath.

According to Sgt. Taylor, Turner told Police: "Just take me to court, I'm not taking a test.'' Yesterday Turner told Senior Magistrate Will Francis he did not take the test because "of the way I was handled.'' MORE JAIL TIME FOR INMATE CTS JAL More jail time for inmate A prisoner was yesterday sentenced to four months in prison for cheque fraud.

Garfield Carmichael, 35, who is currently serving a three-month prison sentence at Westgate Correctional Facility for another matter, pleaded guilty in Magistrates' Court to 30 counts of cheque fraud between August and September of last year.

Police prosecutor Sgt. Phil Taylor said $3,595 worth of goods were acquired with the ten cheques, the property of Morris Figueiredo of Southampton.

When Carmichael was arrested on September 26 he confessed to using the cheques, given to him by two individuals not before the court.

Sgt. Taylor said Carmichael requested that 11 additional cheques be taken into account in yesterday's proceedings, which brought the total amount of goods obtained by fraudulent means to $7,350.

Carmichael apologised to Senior Magistrate Will Francis for his actions and Duty counsel Sonia Grant requested that any prison sentence handed down be concurrent to the one he was presently serving.

Mr. Francis ordered Carmichael to serve four months in prison on each count.

The sentence will run concurrent to his present sentence.

FRITH EYES MAYOR'S JOB GVT Frith eyes mayor's job A new Mayor of Hamilton will be elected this month when William Boyle steps down after three years service.

And it seems likely that current Deputy Mayor William de V. Frith will be the only person to be nominated for Mayor.

Mr. Boyle announced last year that he intended to step down following the end of his three-year term.

Elections will now be held on April 24 and nominations for the post have to be in by April 17.

However, it is understood no other Hamilton Corporation members will throw their hat into the ring leaving the field clear for Mr. de V. Frith, who joined the Corporation in 1972.

It is thought that if he is elected Mayor, Alderman Lawson Mapp will step up to Deputy Mayor while Councillor James Jardine will seek office as an Alderman for the first time.

Hamilton businessman David Dunkley, who runs Total Fitness, is expected to be elected a Councillor to replace Mr. Jardine.

Voting will only take place if more than one person stands for a post and those eligible to vote are people who own a business or building within the City of Hamilton and people who live or own a house in the city.

NO APPOINTMENTS -- YET AG No appointments -- yet Despite persistant rumours to the contrary, no one has yet been appointed to the post of acting or permanent Solicitor General, Government's Senior Personnel Officer yesterday told The Royal Gazette .

The Public Service Commission has advertised the post both locally and overseas, but has not even begun interviewing candidates, said David Anson.

"We would hope to have someone appointed within the next three months,'' he said.

Mr. Anson's comments follow similar statements made earlier by Attorney General Elliott Motley, who was also adamant no appointments to replace Barry Meade, temporary or otherwise, had been made.
