MOTORS AND SAFETY.
RIGHTS OF PEDESTRIANS. [BY TELEGRAPH. —PRESS ASSOCIATION.] DUNEDIN. Tuesday. In the course of his address to the grand jury at the opening of the criminal session of the Supreme Court today Mr. Justice Reed said a man was charged with manslaughter, or, alternatively, with driving a motor-car negligently and causing the death of a man. This was one of the usual motor-car cases of which, unfortunately, there were so many. Tho defence suggested that the man who was knocked down dodged about in* front of tho car and that it was his own fault that he was killed. The driver of a car had no fight to put a person in such a position that the person had rapidly to make up his mind to avoid being knocked down.
