Fine For Converting Motor Cycle
' On January 28 Bunny Martin, labourer, Poroporo, was in town and after he had been drinking at an hotel found he was late for his shift at the Whakatane Board Mills so he went outside and although he had no license took a motor cycle belonging to an acquaintance and rode it out to the'mill. For this conversion he was convicted and fined £lO, costs 15s, by Mr E. L. Walton, S.M., yesterday and ss, costs 10s, for riding the motor cycle without a license. s
Senior-sergeant Fuller told the court that the owner of the motor cycle had said he would not have loaned the vehicle to Martin, although he would have been quite willing to run him out to the mill had he been asked.
