MOTORING ACCIDENTS
“ROADS COVERED WITH DEAD.” LONDON, October 27. Mr. Justice Horridge, charging the Grand Jury at the Suffolk Assizes, yesterday, said that he was becoming sadly familiar with the charge of manslaughter arising from road accidents. “It may be,” he continued, “an exaggeration to say that the roads of this country are covered with dead and dy-. ing, but it is not far off in truth, for
one cannot pick up the paper without reading of someone killed on the road.” “Streets strolls to-day are far more dangerous than railway journeys,” said Mr. H. R. Oswald, the West London coroner, at a Chelsea inquest yesterday. “Again and again I have said that pedestrians ought to take greater care. In spite of all suggestions which might lead to a lowering of the death rate from street accidents, coroners, especially myself, get nothing but adverse criticism. I give© the problem up.”
