It was admitted that the lorry was registered at Christchurch, the defendants contending that the license was valid on the Coast, which view was supported by the Christchurch City Council. Mr. Meldrum, S.M., .said that the license should have been taken also at Greymouth, as Christchurch and .Greymouth'were not in the same heavy traffic district. The case was a. test one. and a heavy penalty was not asked. Defendants were convicted and fined £2. with costs. This decision affects the company’s lorries at Ashburton and Timani.
