Stout, S.M., in dismissing a charge against Arthur Douglas Webster, horse trainer, of Otaki, that being the owner of a motor car and informed that an offence had been committed by its driver under the Motor Vehicles Act, defendant failed to give all information in his possession which would lead to the identification of the driver. The traffic inspector stated that he had written to defendant, and latfer received a letter from him which was written in Victoria, saying that his_ car was supposed to be locked up, and if it had been taken out it was without his authority. . The solicitor for defendant 6aid the latter had given all the information he possessed, and had since questioned his employees at Otaki, receiving a denial that the car had been used in his absence.
