MOTORIST FOR SENTENCE.

TAWA FLAT FATALITY.

Wellington, July 27. William John Walling was to-day found guilty by a jury in the Supreme Court before Mr. Justice McGregor of negligently driving a mo-tor-ear on June 3, at Tawa Flat, so as to cause the death of Mrs. Helen Telfer. On a charge of manslaughter he was found not guilty. The Crown’s case was that Walling in overtaking a car driven by Coleman and containing passengers, including Mrs. Telfer, tried to pass on a very narrow road. In doing so he swung his car across the road so that the back wheel struck the front wheel of Coleman’s car and toppled that car over a steep bank, Mrs. Telfer being killed atmost instantly. Walling denied he had been responsible for the accident- and stated he was not aware of it until informed by other motorists. He had then gone back and rendered assistance. The marks on his car were caused in Eastbourne and not by contact with -Coleman’s. He was remanded for sentence.
