DEFINED AS MOTOR
COURT’S DECISION ON TRACTOR. MASTERTON, March 10. A case of interest to some 300 tractor owners in the Wairarapa, in which Traffic Inspector W. G. Milne proceeded against John Charles Judd, was heard in the Masterton Magistrate’s Court, yesterday. Judd was charged with permitting a tractor to be used on a main highway without a license. Evidence showed that an employee was taking a tractor along the road for a distance of about five chains, from one part of the farm to another. The Inspector said his instructions from the Department were to proceed against all motor-vehicles using the roads without holding a license, or being insured. After a lengthy discussion in chambers, the S.M. (Mr Lawry) held that a tractor was a motor-vehicle, and that it was liable for registration. In view of it being the first case of its kind in the district, the S.M. entered a conviction, without penalty or costs.
