He was also charged with failing to render all practical assistance and report the accident to the nearest police station. There was a further charge of negligently driving a car along the Pleasant 1 oint Road, thereby causing bodily injury to Douglas Christie. The evidence showed that Christie, a young man, was returning home from a liicycle race in which he had participated when he and two companions were knocked off their bicycles through a car colliding with them. Christie was so badly hurt that he has been' in hospital ever since and it was found necessary to amputate his right leg. Accused pleaded not guilty and was committed to the Supreme Court for trial.
