NOISY MOTOR-CARS IN BRITAIN.
LONDON MAGISTRATE SAYS THE LAW IS TOO VAGUE.
These cases are extremely dif cult to decide, because the word- ing of the Act is so wide," said
Mr. Bingley, the Marylebone magistrate, in dealing with sum monses against motorists for driv
ingears with alleged ineffective silencers. He said the offence in the words of the Act was to:
A limited company was formed in January, 1929, to take over the show, and for his interest Mr. De Bear received shares, but no cash.

Mr. Bingley said he had got to be satisfed, in the vague words of the Act, as to whether an engine was silenced so far as was reason
ably practicable, and he supposed that depended more or less on the kind of ear: He hoped sincerely that there would be some legiala: tion that would make it easier for magistrates to decide these cases, and he understood that that was in prospect.
