CASE DISCONTINUED
Juries Fail to Agree By Telegraph—Press Association. Christchurch, August 4. The Crown decided not to pursue further its ease against Frank Rowland Coe, farmer, of Amberley, who was on trial this week on a charge of driving a motor-truck negligently on the Main North Road on May 8, thereby causing the death of a cyclist, Albert Hadler. Coe was tried twice before Supreme Court juries, but each time the jury disagreed. The principal point the juries were asked to determine, and which Mr. Justice Northcroft held to be of national importance, was whether Coe should have stopped his truck when the glaring lights of an oncoming vehicle appeared likely to dazzle him.
