MOTOR PROSECUTIONS.
SERVICE OF SUMMONS,
COURT DISCUSSES BETTER FACILITIE
ACILITIES.
Magistrate Lindsell this morning heard the case in which Dr. S. Strahan was summoned for driving his car on the wrong aide of the road in Queen's Road Central on January.10.
Mr. D. H. Blake, who appeared for the defence, said that he was pre pared to enter a plea of "guilty" to a technical offence, He would like, however, to address the Court on cer- tain points in the case. Dr. Strahan, had no recollection of the offence alleged against him. The summons was served on him three days after the offence was alleged to have been committed. Counsel suggested that that was rather a long lapse. Dr. Strahan was constantly driving his car, carefully, he thought, and could not reasonably be expected to remember everything he did three According to the days past. summons, the offence was sup- posed to have been committed in Queen's Road and Counsel took it that it must have been in the vicinity of the Hongkong Cricket Club pavilion. Az Magistrate was doubtless aware, there was a rather, awkward curve on the tram lines opposite the Club, and in making that curve, à car was bound to be more or less on! the wrong side of the road. That was why be claimed the offence was a techdical one.
Mr. Blake said that. Dr. Straban had communicated with the Automo bile Association and he had been instructed to ask, "with all due consideration to the work entailed, that summonses in future be issued as soon as possible after the offence had been committed. In this case, Dr. Strahan had" his office in the heart of the town, and yet it took three days to serve him with the summons.
The Magistrate said that he was inclined to agree that three days was too long a time. He had read the -Association's letter to the C.S.P., and he thought the length of time asked for-24 hours was too short for a Would the place like Hongkong. Association agree to 48 hours as the limit?
Ir
Mr. Blake said that the Association did not presume to dictate to the police, but they were only suggesting that it would considerably help the defence if summonses were served as soon as possible.
Inspector Garrod said that in this case the application for the summons was made on the 11th, the morning after the offance was alleged to have been committed. If there was any delay, it must have been on the part of the server.
The Magistrate said, that was purely departmental matter and he did not wish to go into it.
Blake, Addressing Mr.
the Magistrate said that he was prepared to undertake, that all summonses
be issued would
within 48 hours in future. He did not think it would be possible to make it earlier, as a constable could not possibly apply to the In- spector for a summons before the next morning.
Mr Blake said that he understood that in England summonses could be! issued within 24 hours, but of course, he appreciated the difficulty here, and was prepared to agree that 48 hours was reasonable.
Inspector Garrod said that it had been his practice in the past, as soon as an application for a summons was made to him, to ring up the person concerned and inform him. He had "discontinued this because on several occasions he had received very dis
Can't you courteous replies, such as find anything better to do," and "There was an armed robbery fast night; why don't you leave cars alone and attend to them?"
Mr. Blake said that if Inspector Garrod would revive that practice i and communicate with the Associa tion every time he received reply of of the nature be complained of, he (Counsel) would undertake that the Association would take the matter up.
Inspector. Garrod said that he would only be too glad to renew that practice on such an understand. ing.
The Magistrate said he thought it was a good practice, and should be revived. In this case, he would impose the usual fine of $5.

LORD PIRRIE'S WARNING ENDORSED.

Sir James McKenchine, speaking at a luncheon at Barrow after the launching of the "Seminole," an oil. tanker built by Vickers for the Anglo-American Oll Co., agreed with Lord Pirrie that to burn oll under a ship's boilers was not only wasteful but wrong in principle. In view of the position of the world's oil supplies shipowners should go slow. The maximum efficiency was obtained from liquid.
