Mr. E. J. Grist appeared for Inspector Garrod, who prosecuted, and for Cour mander Beckwith, the complainant in the case, Mr. Leo d'Almada appeared for the
defendant.
Commodore Beckwith said that on Sunday he was driving his car from Kowloon to Taipe, and, when he was climbing the bill approaching the third mile stone, where there was a most dan gerous blind corner, he saw, some 70 or B0 yards from it, a car approaching at a very high speed. Witness ay was travel ling at a speed of from 14 to 15 miles an hour at the time. He recognised that it would be almost impossible for him to Keep clear of the car from his own side, and that unless he stopped there would be a collision. He held his ear as far left as he could, applied his brakes and clutches, sad stopped his engine. The car passed him at a distance of between one and two fest, travelling at a rate of about 30 miles an hour. Defendant did not atempt to apply the brakes or control the car in any way while it was going down the hill. As the car passed him he recognised the defendant driving it. Mr. L. N. Loefe was with witness at the time, and witness Į turned round to him sad exclaimed "That
is about the closest I have been to He had a great deal of experience of the Taipo Road, having driven between 9,000 and 10,000 miles on it. If he had gone twenty yards further be would have been in the middle of a "glorious collision.”
Cross-examined by Mr. d'Almada, wit- ness Raid he had never seen defendant "driving a car before, but he had seen him on a motorcycle in Kowloon. As witness was going up the gradient defendant was coming down..
to Mr. Grist: It is not ́an-setion of Com-

witness that there was no trade on the admitted by Commander Beckwith and his
road at the time. It was common know- ledge that the road was one which was not used for ordinary traffe; it was only used by motor-cars, rickshas, and by a few pedestrians, and the prosecution admitted that on that particular occasion there was no one on the road. The Commander had stated that he saw the car 70 to 80 yards away from him. On a road wide enough for two cars to pass, there was no fear of a collision. Witnesses would state. that the car was going down the road at the rate of 15 miles an hour, and was kept on the proper of the road.
Mr. F. Bunje, medical student, said he had held a motor-car driveg'a ¡leence. for three years and a motor-cycle licence for a like period. He had driven on the Tai Po road for the past three years. On Sunday he left Shatin, on the return journey at about half-past-eleven. Com mander Beckwith's car was about 200 yards away when he sighted it. It was not correct that witness was going at the rata of 30 miles an hour. Witness went at 15 miles His cagine was running free. When witness rounded the corner he was
the correct side of the road. He did act apprehend danger when he passed Commander Beckwith's' car. He had never had aq accident except when the Captain Superintendent knocked him off his motor-cycle. (Laughter.) Witness then decided not, to take action, as the Captain Süperintendent was very apologe tic. (Laughter.) Witness did pot think it necessary to stop his car when he

Mr. d'Almada: I have a magnifying glass with me.
The Magistrate: The suggestion is that this car passed you, Commander Beck. with, before you reached Mr. Goldring's
house.
Witness I should say I was between Mr. Goldring's house, and the corner.
Mr. d'Almada: Then these photographs will be useless. According to my client's version, there is a difference of 100 yards. I will ask your Worship to take no notice of these photographe.
