John Henry Clark, traffic inspector for the Alain Highways Board, proceeded yesterday at the Alagistrate’s Court, Greymouth, against Frank AlcHugh, of Blaketown, (1) for pot having a driver’s license while driving a motor vehicle on August 2; (2) for using a passenger service vehicle on August 2 without, a certificate of fitness ; and (3) for procuring the commission of an offence of Mary Ellejn Ward, of Greymouth, who being tbe owner of motor car insured as a private car, did use same for hire, and did not pay the higher insurance fee payable in such cases. The S.AI. said the case should he decided on the grounds of common sense as well as law. There appeared to be no intention to charge hire or reward, and no contract was made that the passengers should do so. As a result of defendant being put to some expense through a muicture going down, the passengers thought they should help defendant, and insisted on his taking the money. The status was aimed at preventing competition with service car lines, and as defendant was merely taking the oassengers down, as his private friends, there was no contravention of the Act. On the charge of driving without having a license defendant would be convicted and fined 10s with 10s costs and the other two charges would he dismissed.
