When the Police Offences Amendment Bill makes its re-appearance before the Legislative Council, it will contain several amendments proposed by the Statutes Revision Committee. One of the more interesting of these concerns the epidemic of borrowing motor cars for joy-riding. Here, the fine has been increased from £2O to £SO, and the term of imprisonment has been made three months. ‘ It is also provided that portion of the fine may be handed by the Court to the owner of the motor ear, as compensation for any ill the vehicle has suffered.
