FOLLY OF PEDESTRIANS.
REMARKS BY A CORONER. Comment on the folly of some pedest ians was made by Mr Douglas Cow* tl# the Camberwell coroner, in recorda verdict of accidental death at the est on a woman, who was fatally ek by a motor cycle, when she ran into the road to fetch her nine-yeaf-old son’s ball. “ Is not this the old story? ” remarked the coroner. “ Pedestrians ’go into the road hesitatingly, not making up their minds what to do, not having the courage to stand still, then running about in this and that direction, so that nobody has the slightest idea what they are going to do. We hear a great deal about the recklessness of motorists, and, no doubt, some of them aye reckless. It is equally true that some pedestrians are ; extraordinarily foolish.” ■>
