A woman-driver of a small car got a surprise last, evening at. Christchurch when she ran into a small boy al. the intersection of Colombo and Hereford Streets. The car was travelling slowly, and the boy was not hurt, but when she stopped within a foot or two of the scene of the collision, she found the car surrounded by nine constables and two sergeants. Tne sudden police response was due to the fact that the collision occurred at, the exact moment the police were changing beats, and the night duty men were inarching to the intersection, when the accident occurred. The array of policemen rapidly attracted a large crowd. With so many men available, the necessary details were collected in a few moments, and from the centre of the crowd, the small boy appeared being put on the way by a sergeant, who gave him a pat on the head. —Press Assn.
