LOITERING CHARGE AT CANTON WHARF
DRIVERS WHO CHANGE CARS
An Indian Police Sergeaut this morning charged a Chinese motor car driver before Mr. E. W. Hamil ton, at the Central Magistracy, with loitering near the Canton wharf whilst driving a public car at 11.05 p.m., on October 17.
The defendant produced the In- dian owner of the car who said that defendant was not his driver.
The Indian Sergeant was definite in his identification of the defend- ant, remarking that he knew him well.
Touting For Passengers The Sergeant said that defendant drove the car slowly up and down in front of the entrance to the wharf just as the passengers were coming off the night boat.
In spite of the fact that the Ser- geant knew his licence number, de- fendant persisted in his denial, saying that he had never driven an Indian owned car.
Defendant, who said he was "very frightened," added that he had driven No. 394 car regularly for over three months, but that was a long time ago..
Change Cars
The Indian owner who had said that defendant was not his driver admitted to the Magistrate that he was aware that Chinese drivers did sometimes change cara.
Remarking that he had no reason to disbelieve the Indian Sergeant, who had been very determined, and that on his part defendant had been very vague in accounting for his movermenta, Mr. Hamilton convicted. After defendant's record had been produced showing that he had been several times convicted, hia Worship decided to adjourn the case sine die for the matter to be taken to the notice of the CS.P., bis Wor- ship remarking: "He is one of those wanderers who goes
from ear to car. Ask the C.S.P., if he will cancel his licence."
