WEEK-END MISHAPS.
ACCIDENTS IN WELLINGTON. ’■ t (Per United Press Association.) WELLINGTON, May 6. The week-end was marked by a series of accidents in which 13 people in all were injured. - Four were hurt at football and hockey, one player breaking a leg, while another suffered similarly bv tripping over a dog. Most of tne others were car and cycle mishaps. A motor car’s mad career along Evans Bay road ended in a smash against the bank and a fall into the culvert; and the driver, W. L. Garbutt, a seaman, appeared in court. The police evidence was that he was in the habit of coming ashore from his ship and driving round in borrowed cars. The man was in an advanced state of drunkenness when found. The magistrate fined him £l,O and suspended his license for two years, remarking that this would keep him out of trouble for that time at least.
