MAGISTRATES DIFFER.
ON THE USE OF LICENSED VEHICLES. By Telegraph—-i'ress Association. Wellington, Yesterday. Mr Cooper, 8.M., heard a case in which George Waddle, a taxi-cab driver, was charged under the City Corporation by-laws with refusing to convey a police constable and a drunken prisoner to the police station. The defence relied on a recent decision at Auckland by Mr Cutten, SJVI., in the police v. Rooke, in which, a similar charge was dismissed on the grounds that the by-law was unreasonable. Waddle contended that the prisoner, being drunk and dirtv, would Boil or damage the upholsterings of the car. The Magistrate, in convicting the driver, and fining him Is and costs, said I there was no evidence as to what the Auckland by-law was, and sympathised with Waddle.
