UNLICENCED MOTORS
PROSECUTIONS IN SOUTH APPLICATIONS MADE TOO LATE Press Association. WELLINGTON, To-day. Seventy owners of motor vehicles were charged before Justices of the Peace to-day for Laving unlicensed cars. The majority were fined 5s and 10s and one £l. The defence in each case was that they had gone to the Town Hall on or before March 31 but had been unable to obtain licences owing to the enormous nuffiber of applicants. The police said that most Wellington motorists had waited until the last minute to get their licences. Counsel protested against the cases being heard pending a decision on the legal point regarding the validity of the licences but the Justices of the Peace refused to adjourn any case in which the defendant, pleaded guilty.
