IS SUMMONS LEGAL?
AGAINST RULING MONARCH
LONDON, Nov. IS
“I don’t cnro who ho is. Ho lias no right to tear up and down our country roads,” said the chairman ot the Brentford (Middlesex) magistrates when the solicitor appearing for the famous Indian cricketer, Ranjitsinhji (the Jam Sahel) of Nawanagar), pleaded that the Bench had no power to hear a summons for speeding, on the ground that “Ranji ” was a ruling monarch. “Ranji,” who has a house at Staines (Middlesex), was motoring near Brentford, when the. police held up his chauffeur for exceeding the speed limit.
The Bench adjourned the case to consider the legal point.
