MOTOR COLLISION
CLAIM.
HOTEL 'BUS AND PUBLIC MOTOR-CAR.
BOTH SIDES HELD TO BE
NEGLIGENT.
Holding that there was negligence on both sides, the Puisne Judge 3. Justice. Wood) dismissed the claim and counter-claim in the Happy Valley motor celliston case, heard recently in the Summary Court.
The plaintiff was Cheung Ho Sang, owner of a public motor car, and the defendants were the Hong Kong and Shanghai Hotela, Ltd.
The claim and counter-claim were based on damage suffered by the two vehicles when they collided nezr the Monument.
}
In delivering judgment, his Lord ship outlined the facts as found and said he had taken the liberty of obtaining for hiniself expert motorist opinion on the circum- stances disclosed in the evidence. Continuing, he auid-
"I find that the driver of the bus was negligent in proceeding to cross the line of traffic to his Fight, without first informing him- self that the road was clear, and in travelling in the circumstances at the speed substantially higher than five miles per hour.
Before the collision, the car had been travelling fast, but not in my opinion unreasonably fast in the circumstances if the car had been well equipped. It was an Overland Whippet, fitted with four, wheel brakes, and may have been going at 25 miles per hour or a little more. Its driver sighted the lamp ray of the approaching" 'bus before he could see the 'bua itself. The car was then 58 feet from the point of impact.
He at once applied his brakes, but they did not stop, the car in time to avoid the accident. The brakes operated on the right side wheels only.
"I am advised that, had the brakes been properly adjusted, the car, at the speed it was going, would have been brought to rest in less than 38 feet and, also, that the defect in the brakes inust have been known to the driver.

GAMBLING WITH A
FORGED NOTE: STONE-BREAKER SHARPLY
PUNISHED.
A stone-breaker was charged be- fore Mr. T. S. Whyte-Smith with keeping a common gaming house and the possession of a forged Hong Kong and Shanghai 810 bank note. The Magistrate imposed a fine of $10 on the first ebarge, remarking that he regarded the offence as ordinary street gambling, although actually the workmen assembled in A building...
On the mention of the second
charge, however, the. Magistrate changed his order and increased the fine to $25,, the possession of the note making, he said, the offence more serious.
The defendant pleaded that he won the note gambling, but the pro- accuting officer pointed out that he had not said so in making his state- ment.
After the note had been certified ay falsy by the Magistracy shroff, the defendant was discharged on the second count and the note order.
With reference to the car, thereed to be burnt i fore, I And that its driver was
ני
negligent in placing the ear upon JUNK CAPSIZES OFF
the road with defective brakes, and, having done so, in, driving the car at such a speed as to render it im possible to stop the car in fifty feet. In my view, the negligence of both parties has contributed to the aceideut."
STANLEY.
A message was received at the Water Police Station yesterday morning to the effect that a large junk capsized off Stanley and two members of the crew, a man and a girl had been drowned. No details of the mishap were given but it is believed the craft capsized in the rough eens.

[UNITED PALSS.]
CLEVELAND, March 6 A decision of far-reaching con sequence to newspaper workers of the United States to-day was given by the County Court of Appeals
a race meeting with gambling.
In the course of to-day's decision the Court of Appeals said:---

In the present case his Lordship held that the driver of the cus was incapacitated by the condition of his brakes (which he had found to "constitute negligence) from prevent ing the injury during the interval of emergency. On the judgment of the Privy Council, his Lordship was bound to hold that this negligence was operative and continued to the final moment of that interval.
His Lordship concluded:--" I find myself unable to say to which party the final unit of negligence is right- iy to be assigned. Whether the problem is approached from the con sideration of possible activity or of induced incapacity during the emer- gency, my conclusion is the same. In my opinion both parties here stand in like case. Any loss lies where it falls. I dismiss both claim and counter-claim, making no order as to coats."
DRIVER WHO WAS LATE.
SOMETHING EXTRA ADDED TO HIS FINE.
Yung Seng, a motor car owner, was charged before Mr. R. E. Lind aell yesterday with leaving his car unattended in Cochrane Street.
Defendant was asked why he was not in Court on Tuesday last when the case was to be heard.
Defendant: "I arrived Inte, just after the Court rose.
