■ Some time, wa.i occupied by Messrs*. W. Gill and If. Fielder, Justices, ii. the Magistrate's Ciwrt this morning in investigating a charge against a cabdriver namod Thonm« Williams of not having kept off the line for a distanco of forty yards in fronr of a tramcar on the night nt the 23rd ult. He wus further chaig.'d with impeding the tioflic on that d;itc. Tho evidence of Motorman James Henry Banks wa« to tho effect that Willums and his cab got in front of him somewhero about the Cityiliufret, and kept blwre mrfre or lew nil the way to Toiystreet, wlioro a constable to whom tfto motorman appealed in Mann ere -street , fot off the car and spoke to tho cabman, n between those two places tho cab nearly ran over a passenger who had alighted from tho car. crossed the rails in front of the car, nearly got 'between two cars at the Duke of Edinburgh corner, nnd twice the car Btruck tho wheels of the cab. Mr. Wilford, wlwappenred for the defendant, snid Williams had been a cabdriver in Wellington for twenty-five years, nnd for five years before tlmt in Napier, and during tho wholo of that time ho had never been in troublo in connection with a bylaw. Tho reawn for Williams's peculiar conduct was that he "could not make bend or tn.il of the inotorm»n." He called Williams, whose evidence was to tho effect that ho did not Wilfully obstruct tho tram, and that ho kept on his. right aide, all tho way along, and" did not get on tho line. The tram never struck bis cab. Mr. GiH remarked that tho uvidiihce was very conflicting, and tho Bench- felt that tho only courso they had was •to dwmifo the case.
