Kasper Gray Webley, city building contractor, will stand trial in the Supreme Court on a charge of negligent driving in Marshland Road on February 24, thereby causing the death of a cyclist, Joseph Quinn.

Mr Levvey also sat as coroner to conduct concurrently an inquest into the death of Quinn. Quinn was a road contractor, aged 63, of 494 Madras Street. The coroner’s verdict was that he died of haemorrhage after tearing of the heart and main blood vessels coming from the heart, an injury suffered -when he was run into and knocked over by a car owned and driven by Webley in Marshland Road. Webley faced a second charge of driving a motor-car while he was intoxicated. This charge was adjourned sine die to be heard after the Supreme Court sitting.
