The Annual Meeting

of the

"Dinky" Car.

What was perhaps more un- fortunate still, said Mr. Sheldon, was that the legendary figure re- ferred to was a Sub-Inspector of the Police Force who seldom ap- peared in uniform and who owned A car, which was referred to as "bright coloured" ' and "dinky." That could refer to one person only, namely plaintiff.

On the morning of the publica- officers, informed Inspector Shaf- tain that allegations had been made against his honesty. When he read the article, he had no doubt but that he was the person in- dicated and that he was the person who was hit by the article, whether it was meant for him or not.
