Horse Got The Verdict
SYDNEY (by Airmail).—Cars were lined up for hundreds of yards on each side of a single track bridge ai Swansea, New South Wales. ”ecently, and until one motorists, who was at the rear of one line, turned around and brought a policeman, it looked as if they would remain there for a very long time. In the centre of a bridge was a horse-drawn vehicle and an omnibus, the respective drivers of which were continually stating in unparliamentary language their firm determination not to give way.
The representative of the law listened patiently to a printable version of the case of the horse and the ’bus, and then ruled in favour of the horse. Cars backsd, the omnibus backed, and a gloating driver and a mane-tossing horse proceeded on their wav past these “new-fangled , contraptions.”—Reuter.
