MAGISTRATE’S RULING
Production Of Police Plans In Court Dominion Special Service. Wanganui, February 2. An interesting point was raised in the Magistrates’ Court, Wanganui, today, when a claim for £3OO damages, following a motor collision, was being heard by Mr. J. H. Salmon, S.M. Counsel for plaintiff intimated that he desired Constable W. Kelly, Patea, to produce a plan made after the accident, but the inspector of police at Wanganui would not allow the constable to produce the plan unless ordered to do so by the court. The magistrate said he had definite views on the subject. He considered that when an independent witness such as a police constable made a plan his evidence was valuable and should not be shut out by any authority. The magistrate njude an order for the production of the plan.
