NOT PASSENGERS.
* i PEOPLE IN MOTOR LORRIES.! I i UNLESS FARES ABE PAID. | DECISION IN WAIHI CASE. (By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) WAIHI, this day. The reserved decision of Mr. F. W. Platts, >S.M., was given in the Magistrate's Court this morning in the case which was heard last month, when Robert A. Meara was charged with carrying passengers in his motor lorry without having a license to do so. Counsel for defendant had raised the point that the term "passengers" in the Act referred only to paying passengers, and said that no collection had been made to cover expenses. The magistrate dismissed the case, stating that the point raised by counsel was a good one, and adding that passengers must pay in order to become passengers within the meaning of the Act.
