NEGLIGENT MOTORIST
BOYS ON BICYCLE STRUCK. (Per United Press Association.) Hamilton, June 12. A verdict of guilty with a strong recommendation to mercy was returned by the jury in the case heard in the Supreme Court at Hamilton in which Ivor George Bryan, a tyre salesman, was charged with negligently driving a car so as to cause the death of Cyril Alexander Hislop, aged 14. The evidence showed that the accused was driving a car when he struck two boys who were double-banking on a bicycle over an intersection and one received fatal injuries. The boys on the bicycle were noticed by the accused. They appeared to hesitate and he considered they were stopping to let him pass. It was held by the Crown that the accused was guilty of negligence in not keeping a sufficient lookout.
