RESIDENT RECEIVES A SCARE,

A particularly dangerous piece of driving by a hire car driver was the subject of a complaint brought, by Mr. A. Stevenson, the Manager of the Dairy Farm Co.. in a summons against the driver before Mr. Schofield at the Cen- tral Police Court, to-day.

of the

Mr. Stevenson stated that he was proceeding westwards, cut of town, along Pokfulum Rond, when, at a bend leading to an ineline opposite the west gate University, he saw three cars com- ing towards him. the last of which, without any warning. sud- denly swing out into view and bore down on him.

"I can assure you it made my hair stand on end." Mr. Stevenson told his Worship, "when I saw this car veer towards me."

The questions were:
