Shelbourne, aged 52 years, who was killed when a lorry he was driving ran back in Todman Street, Brooklyn, on June 5. From the evidence it would appear that he found himself in the wrong street and attempted to turn. When the lorry ran back he tried to steer it into Charlotte Avenue, but it struck the kerb and overturned. MOTOR CYCLIST STRIKES COW. Hawera, June 13.
