A TECHNICAL POINT.
THE CONTROL OF A ROAD,
(Press Association.) DUNEDIN., May 26.
At the Police Court to-dav, before Mr. H. Y. Widdowson, S.M., Herbert V. Fulton was proceeded against by the -Portobello Road Board for driving his motor car on the Portobeloo road, leading from Dunedin to ‘Otago Heads, contrary - to the bylaws of the Portcbeilo Road- Board. The facts were admitted, the only point in dispute being the validity of the by-law. For defendant it was contended that the Board had power to regulate and control motor traffic, on its roads, but not to prohibit it, and also that the by-laws had not been approved by the Colonial Soccrotary, and that they were bad on account of the uncertainty, as nothing could be found in the Act showing that the Road Board had any boundaries. Counsel for the Board contended that the by-laws were valid, and that the consent of. the Colonial Secretary had been properly given. Judgment was reserved.
