GISBORNE, this day
Stem comment upon the action of a lorry driver in driving on after knocking down a little girl and leaving lier lying on the road with severe injuries was passed by Mr. Justice Reed in the Supreme Court this morning in sentencing the driver, Peta Mua, or Peter Moore, to one year's imprisonment and cancelling his driving license for five years. His Honor warmly commended the action of the motorist, Mr. Potts, in pursuing the lorry after the accident and compelling the driver to stop after a chase of ten miles. Mua pleaded guilty in the lower Court to a charge of negligently driving a lorry, thereby causing bodily injury to Noeline Kidd, aged S, who was knocked off a bicycle and run over, suffering a fractured jaw and arm.
