"Tr.» Egmont County Council," he said, "is taking strong steps in the matter because they find their leiriency las been abused." His Worship: It is a great danger to motor traffic, particularly at night. Counsel said that the offences were generally committed at night, as it was the custom of the inspector to make a ronnd of the roads about 'daylight, and he usually found straying Btock in the morning before the owofer had arrived to remove them.
