A verdict of guilty with a strong recommendation to mercy was returned by the jury in a case 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 years. Evidence showed that the accused was driving a car when it struck two boys who were double-banking on a bicycle over an intersection. One received fatal injuries. The boys on the bicycle were noticed by the accused. They appeared to hesitate and he considered that they were stopping to ie.t him pass. It was held by the Crown that the accused was guilty of negligence in not keeping a sufficient lookout.
