MOTOR-CAR TRAGEDIES
“BECOMING TOO FREQUENT” CHIEF JUSTICE’S REMARKS Press Association PALMERSTON N., Today. Reference to the increasing number of motor fatalities was made by the Chief Justice, Sir Michael Myers, in his charge to the Grand Jury at the opening of the Supreme Court session this morning, when commenting on two cases for trial involving the deaths of three persons. He stated that such fatalities were becoming all too frequent and were very, very serious.
“A great district like that you represent is to be congratulated that it does not require more than two criminal cases for trial,” added his Honour, “although 1 don’t know that it will be a matter for congratulation, having regard to the observations I have to make. It is a fact that these cases are criminal ones in the ordinary sense. They are cases in which the circumstances have to be investigated fully, as they involve in one instance the death of two fellow creatures and in the other the death of one.” Proceeding to discuss both cases, his Honour added that one scarcely took up a newspaper nowadays without seeing one or more such tragedies reported.
