MOTOR SMASH SEQUEL.

Inspector Alexander said the. accident occurred on the 14th instant, as the car was proceed- ing towards Shaukiwan with full load of passengers, which the defendant had picked up outside the Sincere Company, for a, fare of $2.

The driver of the lorry extended - his hand to the right as an indica- tion of his change, of direction, nt the crucial moment, and, in deavouring to avoid a collision which appeared fo's inevitable, the defendant swerved his car and run head on into a Wall.
