His Honor said the evidence would show' that Fox was driving in a reckless fashion. The Chinaman’s cart was on its proper side of the road. Evidently they had driven to Papakura to get a supply of liquor, returning to Auckland eariy in the morning. They seemed to ha.ve made beasts of themselves. There would be little difficulty in' establishing m prima facie case against Fox.
