S.M., in the Magistrate's Court to-day, when two traffic charges were preferred against Patrick Fox, a gunner in the Royal New Zealand Artillery at Trentham. The offences were stated to have been committed at Te Rapa on April 28, but defendant, in a letter to the Court, declared that he was in Trentham on that date.
Inspector A. E. Hodgson, of the Transport Department, said that the man concerned had told him that his name was Patrick Fox and that he was in the district school at Narrow Neck. He might have since moved to Trentham. The magistrate said he had received a letter from the adjutant at Trentham stating that defendant- was in camp on that day. He would adjourn the case for a. fortnight to allow further inquiries to be made.
