FAILS.
GREEN LIGHT CHANGED TO RED.
Quite a number of traffic offer- ders, summoned during the week, appeared before Maior C. Willson at the Central Magistracy this morning.
Two Europeans. Mrs. Maclay and and Mr. Butecle, were summoned for failing to renew their licenses after the 1st September, and on ad- mitting the offence, were each fined $6.

An interesting case was that in which the Chinese driver of motor: ear No. 666 was sunumoned for dis- obeying traffic signals at the junc tion of Morrison Gap Road and. Stubbs Rond.
Mr. S. H. Langston, manager of the Nestle Milk Company, who was enlled by the prosecution to give evidence, said that about 9.20 mm. on the 1st September, he was pro- ceeding down Stubbs Road, and at the corner of the Hongkong Hotel -garage, witness saw the red light displayed against him. While he was applying the brakes, this was changed to green.
He was then going at five or six miles an hour, and оп turning around the corner, he was surpris- ed to find ear No. 666 practically at the corner about 50 yards beyond the white line. He stopped. and then the defendant jumped out of the car and made a few gesticula- tions to witness' chauffeur, who was sitting on his left.
"I was driving the car, and I was annoyed to see this car so far down," added Mr. Langston.
Major Willson: Did you stop to avoid an accident?-No
