Wrong Impression
The Sergeant, defendant alleg ed, told him that although the speed limit was 15 miles per hour, the Police never stopped anyone in Caine-road unless they travell- ed, at over 20 miles per hour
Dealing with the date of the summons, defendant said that on that occasion he came down* Breezy-path at between 18 and 20 miles per hour and continued at that speed along Caine-road. Sergt. McInnis followed behind him, but did not keep a good dis tance, so being under the impres sion that the Sergeant wanted to pass him, he (defendant) eventu- ally signalled him. to pass when near the Y.W.C.A.

The continuous souading of the horn) was misleading. His Worship re- membered a case concerning a loyal Naval officer whom the Police was unable to stop for a considerable distance and afterwards the Officer claimed that he had been "hounded oo," not knowing who was behind him.
Because defendant admitted that he had travelled at over 15 miles per hour, and there obviously had been a misunderstanding, his Wor- ship decided to register a caution on the first summors.
