MOTOR FATALITY.
,STOREY APPEAL CASE. (By Telegraph—Press Association). WELLINGTON, This Day. Argument in the case of the Crown versus Storey is being continuing in the Appeal Court to-day. Mr Fair proceeded to discuss the question of causation and submitted that, if the deaths of Mr and Mrs Cook were the proximate result of Storey’s negligence, Storey -was responsible at law. The question for the decision of the Court was to what degree Storey,’s negligence was the cause of the deaths. He submitted that the evidence as to the condition of the steering gear of Cook’s car was not admissable. If that evidence tended to show that the chain of causation was broken it was admisSable, but he contended that it could not show that the chain of causation was broken, or that Storey’s negligence was exhausted by the time the deaths ensued. The ease is proceeding.
