As a sequel to the death of a boy, Harold Vincent Cole, a- Tilsbury dairy farmer, Leonard Mount Buddie, was to-day committed for trial on a charge of manslaughter. Accused, in a statement to the police, admitted having up to six shandies in a Wallacetown hotel during the afternoon. Edward Royds stated that he gathered the impression immediately after the accident that accused was’not in a fit state to have charge of a car. Though he had known him for twenty years he had never seen him in such a state before. Frederick Price thought accused’s condition was more due to excitement than drink. Roderick Knox, a motor mechanic, said accused brought his ear into the garage all right. At first he thought he was drunk, but then it seemed that he was dazed and excited over the accident.
