FINED FOR SPEEDING
A MAGISTRATE’S COMMENTS. “The position is this,” said Mr F. K. Hunt, S.M., to counsel for the Hntt Borough .at the Lower Hutt Court yesterday when hearing cases for speeding, “I see no reason why a man should fe fined and have to pay counsel's fees in addition when charged with offences of this kind. I consider that the. council should pay the solicitor’s fees and should this practice continue I will reduce the fines. The position is that you have collected £3OO for the upkeep of a four-mile road, and I am here to fine men for breaking the bylaws, not to provide more money fit its maintenance.”
