Magistrate Got Parking 'Ticket 7
NEW PLYMOUTH, Sun. (P.A.) —This is the story of a magistrate who fined himself.
On Friday morning Mr W. H. Woodward, S.M., was given a “pink ticket" for double parking.
Details of this “law-breaking” incident were soon circulating among amused and intrigued RSA members, who saw Mr Woodward with his “ticket” in the RSA cafeteria.
“Whom will he appear before? they asked, but Mr Woodward solved the problem for himself. He presented a reporter with evidence that he had paid his fine for double parking.
He produced a receipt testifying that on November 21 the chief borough inspector had received from Mr Woodward £1 as a donation to the funds of Pukekura Park. New Plymouth.
