MAGISTRATE’S COURT
FORTNIGHTLY MASTERTON SITTING. A LIGHT LIST. Mr H. P. Lawry, S.M., presided at the fortnightly sitting of the Masterton Magistrate’s Court, held this morning. For parking a motor-car within six 'feet of a fire-plug, John Henry Oakden was convicted and fined 10s and 10s costs. William John Akerman was convicted and fined 10s and 10s costs for failing to give way to another vehicle approaching from the right at an intersection. Senior-Sergeant G. A. Doggett said defendant, who had an injured left arm, had his wife with him to operate the gears and the brake. He was coming in from the country to see a doctor.
“You are lucky you are not charged with negligent driving,” remarked Mr Lawry, who added: “It is a very bad practice to allow two people to drive a motor-car. A woman once got killed as the result of it.”
