FATAL SPEEDING.
(Per Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, Last Night
At the inquest on the body of Sydney Caleb Small, who was killed in a motor accident on May 3 Bth, when m Christchurch on his honeymoon, a verdict was recorded that death was due to fractured spine and internal injuries received from the overturning of a motor-car. Shortly before the accident the car was being driven at a high rate of speed, but the evidence on the point was inconclusive, tliougli tlio fact that the car had skidded going through a waterhole, and the failure to reduce speed in time to prevent the skidding, would seem to suggest excessive speed and lack of vigilant outlook.
