PROSECUTIONS.:
A number of traffic cases came up for hearing before Major C. Willson at the Central Magistracy yesterday.
A case in which a Chinese driver wäs charged with reckless driving on January 10th was auburned, owing to the non- appearance of a Chinese woman, who was the principal witness. This woman, it is alleged, was thrown out of a ricksha, when defendant's car crashed into the vehicle near the Dockyard Gates, “
A Chinese was fined $30 for speeding in Deg Vaux Road. Defendant had two previous convictions recorded against him, and the police stated that on this occasion he was travelling at the rate of

NUMBER PLATE SUMMONSES WHICH FAILED.
When Mr. C, J. Roo appeared before Mr. E. W. Hamilton at the Eowloon Magistracy yesterday morning, summaa- ed at the instance of Sergeant Hallan for not having the regulation number plate on his motor-orcle, it was stated that the plate he had was,black with white figures; whereas the colours should have been rice versa.
Mr. Roe produced his licence and said. his plate was all right as far as the regalations printed on the licence were concerned.
The prosecution stated that originally the number "plates were black with white numbers, but this was changed in July, 1994; and drivers were notified.
His Worship, in dismissing the sum- mons,said that there had probably been a misprint in defendant'a licence.
A similar Bummons against Mr. Mangier was withdrawn.
NO COMPENSATION. SEQUEL TO INJURIES TO RACE PONY..
At the Central Magistracy yesterday, Major C. Willson, decided that the ques- tion of compensation for injuries to a race pony arising out of a recent trafire case, when a Chinese youth was fined for failing to report an accident, could not be settled by the Court.

The pony in question is Elm Loai," one of this year's subscription griffins.
Mr. Carroll, who was present in Court, said he was claiming $100 compensation. The Chinese youth alleged that when he previously saw Mr. Carroll, he had said that he only wanted 839.
