Angus., while plaintilf was proceeding i 7. his truck from luangahua Junction to Westport, and defendant in his ear, the plaintiff alleging negligence on the part of defendant. Lengthy evidence wuis given. The Magistrate, in giving his de cision, said that the accident was caused by the defendant’s car comiiG in contact with a patch of clay on the road, causing it tu skid into the plain tilf’s lorry, but that negligence on the part of the defemlant had not been proved. The | laintitf would therefore be non“suited with costs, and witnesses’ expenses to the de fendant.

Sergeant Mclntyre conducted the prosecution and Mr Lovell appeanu* for the defemlan'. Defendant pleaded guilty to driving without a license, but not guilty to negligence.

If defendant had sounded his horn or came round slower, there would have been no accident. The lights were

not thrown on Miss AlcHerron until he swung around on her. He w’Us neg li-’ent in not sounding his horn and also must hhve swung round too quick ly for his lights to show the pedes trian.
