UNEXPECTED DEVELOPMENT. BY Tecegbaph.—press association. Hamilton, February 29. There was an unexpectetl development In the Supremo Court case this morning, when a young piano salesman, Raymond Gifford, was charged with so negligently driving a vehicle as to cause the death of Leslie Sponccr, aged 20, in a collision which occurred between the defendant’s car and Spencer’s motor-cycle at five crossroads, Claudelands, on December 19. Tiio case had proceeded some distance when His Honour, after a few minutes’ adjournment, said that it had been reported to him that a member of the jury had been a fellow-worker of the deceased.
