Harper, S.M.j. in a case which was a sequel to a collision at Wharerata Hill, between a truck and a horse float. The plaintiff, T. A. Franks, made his claim' under a policy issued the day preceding the accident, to recover the sum of £299 from the Standard Assurance Company. He represented that various judgments had been obtained against h'im for damage arising out of the collision. The magistrate held that there had been non-compliance with the conditions on the back of the policy, and, as the plaintiff had failed to give prompt notice of the accident to the company, the claim failed through his own neglect.
