MOTORING ACCIDENTS.
'ALTOGETHER TOO FREQUENT'
JUDGE'S COMMENT TO JURY.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
PALMERSTON N„ this day,
"Two of the cases that will be presented to you are of a kind that is becoming altogether too frequent—motor accident cases," said Mr. Justice MacGregor. when addressing the grand jury in the Supreme Court this morning.
"In each case," said his Honor, "a death was caused, allegedly through a negligent act or omission on the part of the driver. The law is quite clear. Any person driving a motor vehicle must exercise reasonable care, otherwise he is criminally liable if any person—passenger or otherwise—is killed by his negligence."
True bills were returned in each of the five cases presented for trial.
