NEGLIGENCE ALLEGED.
WOMAN DRIVER ACQUITTED. By Telegraph —Press Association. Auckland, Last Night. After being refused leave to find that the accused was incompetent, the jury, in the Supreme Court to-day, acquitted Margaret Ester Rogers, a married woman, who was charged with having negligently driven a motor-car and thereby having caused, the death of a pedestrian. The case arose out of an accident in Newmarket on January 8, when Mrs. Thorburn, aged 68, was knocked down while crossing the roalway to board a tram. One wheel of Mrs. Rogers’ ear passed over her, and she died of shock the same night.
