Another defendant, Edward Charles Tapp, Petone, -who said he would not have driven over the bridge had he known that Inspector Archer was in the car already on the bridge, was fined £1 with costs The following were each fined 10/-, with costs which, except where otherwise stated, were 10/-: Alexander Rait Porirua (12/-); Dorothy Key, Upper Hutt; Frederick Valentine Nels-on; Maurice George Talbut, Petone; Urban Scoble, Petone; Laurence Perkins, Wellington.
