TRAFFIC SUMMONS"
Before Mr. Schofield at Central Magistracy yesterday. Hau Yuk- sang, driver of private car No. 3429 was summoned at the instance of Mr. WJ. Roberts for not keeping close to the left side when round ing a bend on Island Road or January 1
The defendant pleaded not guilty, and after Mr. Roberts had given evidence, the bearing was adjourned until Friday at 11.30 to enable more evidence to be called. Mr. Roberts stated that about; 1250 p.m. on January 1 he was being driven in his car, No. 3348, from Stanley towards Repulse Bay. On arriving at a blind corner at the top of the new wall, the de- fendant's car came round the bend completely on the wrong side. His chauffeur almost had to pull up, and defendant swerved quickly to his correct side and swung back again to his wrong side on passing his car. He thought defendant's car was proceeding about 30 miles an hour.
