WARNING TO MOTORISTS.

(Per United Press Association.) WELLINGTON, October 2.

Fast motoring in Wellington was the subject of some remarks at a Chamber Sitting of the Supreme Court, presided over by Sir Robert Sfout, Chief Justice, this morning. His Honor said that he thought motor people should be on the look out and more careful than they seemed to be at present, otherwise there would be a dreadful accident -one, of these days. Only the other day he saw a motor caor coming along Lambton Quxy, where there were numerous foot passengers and also a rank of cabs, and he was sure that the car was travelling at iiore than fifteen miles an hour. just opposite Kirkcaldie and Stains, one i.ian and a little child were as nearly as possible run over. His Honor thought {here should be some by-laws affecting 'his question, or there would be serious trouble, some day. He was perfectly amazed at the pace the mart was driving at, but he must add the driver must have been a very expert man, for although he was driving at a high rate of speed, he went through the traffic without touching anyone, just as though he were handling a ship 50 miles off the land.
