FATAL MOTOR ACCIDENT
CHARGE AGAINST DRIVER FAILS.
By Telegraph.—Press Association.
Palmerston N., Feb. 9. At the Supreme Court to-day the jury returned a verdict of not guilty in the case of negligent driving so as to cause death preferred against Frank Lawrence Farr.
The charge was the sequel to a fatal motor collision at Bunnytborpe in the early hours of the morning of December 1. Farr was the driver of a bus bringing dancers into town when he collided with an old man named Jeremiah Brosnan. A doctor who was summoned pronounced Brosnan as apparently none the worse for the accident, but he was found unconscious later at the factory where he worked and died on admission to the hospital from a fractured skull.
