RESERVED SEAT IN EXPRESS
COURT WANTS A DEFINITION. HAMILTON, November 30. A commercial traveller, Harold Meade, of Kotonia. when travelling on the Frankton-Auckland express, refused to give up a seat reserved for Mr. Justice Herdman when asked by the guard to do so. He was charged with the offence the Police Court to-day, before Mr. Wyvern Wilson. It was stated that he told the guard scats could not bo reserved for a distance of less than 100 miles. It was admitted that no ticket had been placed over the spat, but defendant was informed that the seat had been specially reserved from the Wellington office of the department. Defendant did not appear when the case was called. The magistrate, after perusing the regulations, remarked that there was nothing to show what the definition of a reserved sent was. He adjourned the case for a week.
