CONVERSION OF CARS
WEAKNESS OF ENGLISH LAW.
MAGISTRATES’ RECOMMENDATION.
London, September 21
Borrowing a motor car without permission will become a punishable offence if the recommendation of the council of the Magistrates’ Association is adopted by the Government. This is the outcome of a prolonged controversy on the weakness of the law, which latterly was responsible for a tremendous increase in the number of cars that have been taken by joy-riders and abandoned, frequently in a damaged condition.—Australian Press Association.
