But the | evidence of his brother, who admitted j that tie car was travelling twice as quickly as a. man could walk, reinforced the observation* of the police, and m answer to his indignant protest tjiat or I had always driven carefully and never j been stuck up before, the Magistrate replied coldly: "The.n you/ have met your Waterloo at last."
